Guys who redline often and get to believe the car likes it are like guys who want to do it every which way they can with a woman and think the woman likes it. They get blown engines and short relationships, car or woman does not matter.
Agreed, 6th gear from 55MPH+ all the way to 150. And also agreed that everyone here who 'enjoys' redlining their cars and thinks their sports car can handle it must also partake in domestic abuse/rape/sexual assault.
