I believe this is much more plausible given the facts around what you stated happened, coupled with how quickly it all happened, your brain likely discarded any awareness of the engine or tachometer by turning on survival mode to the forefront of your mishap.

Simply said, the facts you've given us point to an accidental 2nd gear downshift instead of the expected 4th gear.

My cars been tuned my red line moved to 7500 rpms so even if I did downshift to 2nd accidentally my car should of accelerated really hard not locked the rear end up.

Still, hitting that low of a gear at that speed would do it. I did something similar in my car when I first got it. I have 3.55s and threw it in third instead of fifth @ 70-75 and mine tried to do it (early in the morning and wasn't paying attention) With a tune, these cars will damn near hit 100 in third as long as red line is raised. It definitely chirped the tires pretty good, I was lucky and wasn't thrown into a tail spin.

Yep, you put it in Second instead of Fourth. Can't buy a driver mod.

Unless you were rev matching at or above 7K it would result in severe engine breaking as stated above. Be thankful you didn't explode anything or crash.
