Yes, Honda does dyno every car that comes off the line. They redline every forward gear and reverse. Take a tour of the East Liberty plant (where Civcs are made..... they didn't offer tours of Marysville when my friend went but I think they do now). They'll tell you all about it. He said every motorcycle, outboard, lawnmower, and automobile engine is run to full throttle in every gear before shipment. They do it to verify the car makes it's advertised power (Honda slightly underrates it's engines, anyway) and for quality control purposes.
