Nothing has broken yet. Most of the stories I hear on engine failures are low mileage cars that have been babied so don't feel bad about putting your foot on the gas.....you're not hurting it as long as the engine is properly warmed up. This engine has been extremely reliable and able to handle everything I've thrown at it so far. Remember, for every person that reports an engine failure on a forum, there are thousands out there just happily motoring along with a healthy car.

Right with you, that's my recommendation, too. Get an aftermarket warranty, and drive it hard without reservations. I don't recommend over-revving it, as the ECU keeps track of such events and it may come to haunt you if you have to make a claim for major engine mechanical failures.
