Car revving without applying gas?...

Something similar happened to me once. I was sitting at the end of a parking lot waiting to trun onto the street. Same story -- clutch in, foot on the brake -- and I heard something odd. I looked down and I the engine was climbing from 5,000 RPM up to 6,500. It was doing this slowly. I realized that my foot placement on the brake was very sloppy and I was actually pressing on the accelerator with the side of my foot. No excuse, but I was wearing wingtips at the time.

This or synchrorev malfunction. I'd be worried only if it happens again
