Redline topic is interesting to me. I am by no way a heavy footed driver.
Besides I drive a 2004 Odyssey with kids sometimes. You get the picture!
Now, I have found that in almost all cases I could manage to pass somebody
below 4,000 rpm. I do not understand why redline is important consideration
for a car. It is meant to be used rarely.

I believe that doing redline too often shortens the life of the engine and
transmission considerably because of the heat generated which may warp the
aluminium engines.

I am not sure how they design the sports or high-rev/high-performance cars.
I was told that they can withstand more abuse than regular passenger cars
that we, the mortals, drive!
