Not to throw water on this love fest for RPMs but there was a detailed article in Panaorama mag some months back that clearly indicated that higher RPMs shorten engine life.

I have no issue against driving at higher RPMs but I don't delude myself into thinking that this is GOOD for my Porsche; the data indicates that it is not.

If it were, race cars would last a lifetime. As it is, their life is measured in races, not miles.

So, all I am saying is if you like to live in the fast lane, you may not want to be the guy complaining how your Box engine is all worn out.
