Was anything damaged?
Today I let this one girl drive my car even though I am only 18 ( she is an 18 year old , no license jsut a permit) for practice for her test in a couple of weeks cause she hasn't been doing much practice lately. She switches the car into neutral mode accidentally and wot for about 4 seconds. Do you think anything was damaged?

Nope.
Under load it will do more damage then without load. Remember these motors are built and tested to take punishment before being mass produced. Just think of her incident as a "test" for the motor. lol

Shouldn't have, just did she slam it back into drive afterwards while the rpms were high, or did you first stop the car, and then let the rpms go down and then put it back into drive?
It won't necessarily damage the car, just strain on trans. Don't do it often. haha

She placed it back into drive when the rpms were at about 5000

lol, don't take advice from some of these guys. But some of them actually know what they are talking about.
If it was bad then can someone tell me why they have Supras making 1200whp with 2 stage rev limiters and so on. Not to mention when they do a burnout, they rev the **** out of their motors to make power off the line at the drag strip. Same goes for other street cars that are weekend warriors.

I also let my friends practice in my car. And no im not going for any pants diving lol, but the next time you let her drive, put it into snow mode. I think slower engine response when touching the throttle would be better if youre worried that she may accidently give it the beans. Or accidently shift into N again.
