I really wouldn't worry tooo much Angie

If the engine were to blow itself up at any stage (he said, grabbing the wooden table top), it would be immediately apparent if you were doing 90+ mph or 30 or 0 - by the state of the rest of the car.

If it only recorded revs, then Honda could say that you were sitting in Neutral, went for a racing start at the lights and forgot to put it in gear (and somehow bypassed the limiter).

If however, you really were to downshift it into what 2nd / 3rd? at 93mph to hit those revs, then the tyres would have bald spots and you would still be picking grass out of the door panels...
