did you actually hit anything? a curbs? some rough bumps? rocks? a cat?

if you didn't hit anything, at worse and highly unlikely you may have messed up your alignment or something, but unless most likely nothing is wrong.

have you noticed anything different?

how the hell would you redline an auto? it would just hit the limiter and the fuel cut off would kick in.

thinking about it, it would be possible to to maybe warp your brake rotors if they over heated since your car is only a week old. if your car starts shaking while braking, that is what happened.

if you hit nothing at all and it drives perfectly fine then continue like nothing happened.
