Hi and welcome. If possible, post a pic of your new baby (car that is, not patient).

Make sure your engine is up to temp before heading out into 4000+ rpm territory.

You don't really have to thrash these cars. They run quite well @ "normal" revs, and you will get better gas mileage. The point is that , whenever you want, you can easily enjoy driving in the upper rev ranges without worrying if the engine can take it. As you may have noticed, many take the cars out for driver ed or lapping days, where you can rev as much as you want under controlled conditions.

Make sure your oil is good, at the right level, and keep an eye on your temp gauge. Have fun!
