I guess I am just looking for reassurance that it wont severely impact the longevity of the engine if I just about redline it briefly every so often.
I know its not ideal that's for sure.
If it's going to cause premature failure in the future then I would want to adjust my driving accordingly?
It was meant to be able to do it. These vehicles aren't just tossed together with no planning. Of course the harder you drive it, the harder it is on the truck, but it was designed for someone to get in its ass every now and then. Stay up on the preventative maintenance and drive it however the hell you want. I bought my 06 GTO with 65k miles on it, and i drive that car how a 400hp engine is meant to be driven. I'll be close to hitting 250k by the end of the year and my shit still runs strong and drives as tight as it always has.
