For me, it's not concern about breaking the car. It's just the overall sensation when driving it. More expensive sportscars emit a sense of confidence, poise and control at high RPMs. You look down NOT realizing you're at 7000 rpm and they WANT to be in that range. The Z will do it, but it feels like you're twisting its arm to make it go over 6k rpm.
