First off all, I have never redlined the car when it was cold, but every time I do redline it, I still think I am damaging the car in the long run even though its a sports car. I'm not talking about bouncing off the limiter either, just shifting at 7.3k makes me feel guilty.

Also, is there a difference redlining a 6MT and a 7AT?
