"I have owned 14 Porsches since 1974 and have floored them every time I have driven them and shifted near redline ... "
Well, let's see ... that boils down to a little over two years per car. I submit that hardly qualifies as "long term useage", on a per-car basis.
I agree you can beat the crap out of just about any car, Porsches included, for two years, and the chickens won't be roosting on YOUR shoulder.
From what I have read, and heard, European-owned and driven Porsches are renowned for being junk-heaps compared to US cars, specifically because of the way they are typically driven and somewhat haphazard maintenance.
Anecdotal data is always interesting, and provides good argument fodder, but in this case I remain unconvinced.
