Don't get me wrong, I don't care what you do to your car. I just hope you don't experience valve float and bang a piston.
Use it, abuse it and accept the outcome...it's your money and time, not mine.

Redline = Abuse? Redline = Float a valve? Of course not. If so, every BMW and Porsche DE event I've ever been at would be a sea of broken engines. It doesn't happen.
Abuse is doing WOT acceleration to over 4K with cold oil. Abuse is pulling a money shift from 5th to 3rd on the track. Abuse is ignoring oil starvation in 180 degree sweepers on the track (something our Boxster engines are designed to prevent).
I drive my car as it was designed to do. If Porsche is afraid of that, hey, there are many other options out there.
