I don't redline it every day, but I also don't ever shy away from it. I bought the car, I'll enjoy it and the sound it makes. Every few days off a stoplight on a 50+ road I'll tease the limiter a couple times.
It's relatively hard to do damage to our stock 7AT, if not actually impossible without attempting to shift into Reverse or Park while moving. We're probably all going to be more at the mercy of random engine issues or general unavoidable age than we are from issues directly related to beating our 7AT around.
