Explosion in 1st gear

so i didnt know where to post this really and i assume what may have happend was internal. so i was at a stop light about 20 mins ago and i cam up next to a yellow gsxR, and we cross traffic onto the high way an hall *****... well i bounced 7000 rpm on the stock tac and when i did i exploded out of first and it kicked me directley to second and kicked sideways and burned out at 70mp. Now in second gear, i think i was going preattty fast. I dont even know what gears i have. but i was just wandering what the explosion feeling when it bounced. maybe lower control arms for that wheel hop lol...

Again, how did "it kick you directly into second"?? your sig says stick/manual but i can't fathom how it would shift for you???

Judging by the mods listed in your sig, I'm assuming you have the stock rev limiter on the car, which is like 6200 I believe. My question is, how did you even manage to over-rev all the way up to 7k in first gear?
