Cool addicted to revving

lately i have been revving my engine alot...i usually shift around 6000 rpm using the paddle shifters. i just love the thrill when all the torque kicks in!
but i heard it could be really bad for ur engine in the long term. anyways, i was wondering has anyone had problems with their engine by revving or
redlining too much and what rpm do u guys usually shift at?

The torque VQ engines make at around 4200-5000 rpms is just amazing and the noise, dont even get me started.

3800-5500=Perfect sound, especially if you got a aftermarket exhaust.

There are a few ppls on here who tracks their g, 5g+ all day long.

As for me, redline on every stop sign 24/7.
