I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong area. Couldn't find a "problems/issues" section.

I recently purchased a 2012 V6 Mustang with the performance package.

Today, while trying to back out of a stall on an incline, I had "thought" I put the car in reverse. And to avoid hitting the curb in front of me, I had the handbrake engaged slightly so I wouldn't roll forward. Well, it was in first gear and upon releasing the hand brake the car violently lurched forward and cleared a curb the size of a sidewalk (the entire car including all four wheels mounted it). Due to the stiff suspension on the performance package, it felt like I hit a brick wall.

The curb was about 6 inches in height. I checked the car thoroughly, the rims are not damaged, the underbody is not damaged (slight scratch on sub frame). The car drives fine, no weird noises and the steering does not pull in any direction.

However, being the paranoid new car owner I am, I still feel like I broke something. I have a hard time believing I lucked out and did zero damage to the car. Is there anything else I should be concerned about or look at? Could something like this bring problems in the future that may not be apparent immediately? Is it worth getting checked out by the dealer?

Thanks in advance.

Doubtful you broke anything at those speeds.
