Revving in neutral

Wondering if this is anything bad for the car while driving at low speeds is it a bad thing to put it in flip up neutral and rev the engine a little bit ?

Depends. For what reason are you doing this for? If you're reasoning is "the devil made me do it", then you're not too smart.

Your comment is not making much sense to me but If I have to spell it out to you its because I want to hear the engine at low speeds with minimal acceleration,, kinda like
Neutral on manual car

There's nothing "bad" about this. I've seen plenty videos of this exact thing and have done it myself.

The key is to roll, let go of the gas pedal, push up to Neutral.
Then do your thing and finally when you're happy, LET GO of the pedal so the RPM's drop to normal levels, then switch back into Drive. If you keep revving and switch to drive, you're gonna have a bad time (probably nothing bad at first, but if you keep doing it, things will blow up).

People need to lighten up a bit. This is not a glass trophy on wheels.

Make sure the temps are up. Not good to do it when engine is cold.

revving the snot out of a car in neutral is not the best thing for it, nor, i'm assuming is shifting back into drive while moving.

i would suggest you keep your revving to stationary affairs or just grow up a bit.

jamming the car from high rev into gear isn't good, but I am pretty sure the c63s is actually built to be intelligent enough. I often back out of my drive way, and shift from reverse to drive directly while trying to hurry and go forward. The c63s doesn't want to go or jam into gear but rather eases into it. Not sure if this is a design, or just me easing up on gas. Other cars, usually tires will chirp before going forward, and if you do it really hard, you can hear the transmission slam. My c63s is still in break-in, so I am easy on it thus far.

to accomplish what you really want to do, you should switch to manual, keep car in higher than usual rev, and when you down shift and let go of gas, you'll hear the best sounding amg. obviously only do this after break-in period.

All kidding aside I would definitely not recommend doing it while coasting.
I had an old Mercury Capri when I was a kid and I would drop it into gear after revving it in neutral to get it to peel out because it wouldn't do it from a standstill. Not too good for the tranny.

LOL that just might be the Transmission lag from reverse to forward.. speaking of which even though its not a DCT it the transmission had a DCT lag character when i test drove one that other day. The noise from the exhaust when lifting the throttle alone is worth the 70k price tag
