The redline on my 1982 stock 930 with an original well functioning 42 year old engine is 6800 rpm. Even before 6K the kick is tapering off. P engineers likely had a good reason for putting that red mark where they did. I'm sure there's a margin for error, but are the rewards close to or over the red line worth the risk of a grenade-d engine? Russian roulette with old metallurgy. Driving aggressively has it's place, but there's no upside to tempting an exploded engine, unless the stakes for that win at the track are huge, or you hate your car.
No judgement, just an opinion.
