He can't redline it when it's cold. The ecu is smarter than the average owner and won't let you.
If he's got 1500 miles on the engine, redlining it is fine. That's plenty. Fuel cut is there for a reason. My new engine break in procedure involves hard driving with redline runs for the first 20 miles (yes I'm serious!) and then an oil and filter change. Then drive it normally for the next 500 miles and change the oil and filter. Then drive it normally again for the next 500 miles and then change the oil and filter again. After this point you can get back on it hard again. By 1500 miles you should be on your 4th oil change! You've got tons of crap in the oil from break in.
The tach may read 10,000 rpm but the engine isn't doing that much.

Im sure we'll hear from you in a few weeks when you blow your new engine that youve already abused. By street racing and bouncing off limiter WHILE STILL NEW. Youll most likely romp on it cold too. also, i see all. So this is why:

Funny I'm wasting my time on this thread today.....
This morning on the turnpike .. stuck in crusing traffic i wanted to downshift from 6th to 4th and giddy-yup past a few cars ... I was sure i was in 4th ... but once i released the clutch the car told me otherwise!! ... It was second! Bit harsh on the car i suppose ... but i was just pretty pissed at my stupidity.
Screw the turnpike .. take the backroads.
