I wonder how long it would take you to wear it out if you took it to redline every morning at startup and drove it like you stole it all the way to work and back. Long time I'd guess.

I keep it under 4000 or so for the first few minutes, about the time the needle clears the top of the first long white bar. Redline does not happen for another ten minutes or so (these things take a good long time to warm completely up).

To answer your question, there is no problem with spirited driving once the engine has come up to full operating temperature. Even if that is 160 on your gauge. At full operating temperatures, the parts are all hot and you are good to go.
