This is no Ducati where you can ring it to 11K. With that amount of compression if it's wrung out to a high amount and the throttle claps down quickly for the next shift seriously crazy s**t happens.

Exactly this.
Bone-headed move to drive the car around on a single set of plugs. Also, could it be possible that this was detonation with a misplaced downshift over-rev??
