Taking any well maintained and properly warmed up car to the redline is not a problem. It's the manufacturer defined operating range. Ever heard of an Italian tuneup?
It's when you go significantly over the maximum safe engine speed that expensive things start to happen... but that's why there are rev limiters.
And 6500? My redline is 7200.
