Spark is cut off not fuel.

Operating any engine at or near its limits is typically OK as long as the motor is well maintained including frequent oil changes with the proper lubricant, proper operating temperature (read proper anti-freeze) and approproate warm up and cool down.

OP, I can understand your worry, but, if taking a G to red line did any serious damage to the motor, there would be a very long line at the service center. ;-)

Drive safe.

The rev limiter applies even with the 7 speed auto while driving in Manual Mode??

I'm hoping to keep my car for many many years....I do love to drive it and all, love to push it too, but not too hard, not past 7000k!

redline is your best friend... especially when you get an intake and an exhaust.
