I think it's complete BS that you call it abuse!! There is nothing wrong with enjoying every RPM of the engine, it "should" be built to take it!!!!
It is NOT abuse!!! ABUSE is doing burnouts, not changing the oil often, not doing normal & necessary maintenance, taking the engine to 8K rpm's etc
I am probably someone you really can't understand because not only do I take my car to redline daily but I have also taken the car to several drivers schools where I am at full throttle for 15-30 minutes 4 times a day for 2 days! All getting around 8-9 mpg!
If a car cannot take this type of use it's a poorly built engine/car, that's how I feel! I have been out there with my 220K mile SPG, numerous 150-200K BMW's, 100K mile accord wagon, & numerous full race cars & it does NOT hurt the cars engine to be revved, some feel it's actually better to be revved then not seing those RPM's.
I have had my viggen for a little over 34K now (66K on the clock) & it's attended 4 drivers schools & has been getting new oil every 3-5K miles. If a piston cracks on me it's a poorly built engine & not the fact that I rev it a bit & I feel that same is true of pretty much every other viggen owner with a cracked piston.
