Let me know how that works out for you. Routinely and sustained are two different things. I am glad you agree that hitting redline at WOT without a load applied could be damaging to an engine.
As I am sure you are aware running WOT with a load applied (such as exiting a corner) and running WOT at redline (such as entering a corner or missing a shift) are two completely different animals and the damage to the vehicle is different (in most cases).
