Running engine to 5500 RPM
Does it harm the longitivity of the engine if you run the engine to 5500 RPM with nearly 4000 KM on the car?

You're well past the break in period. Go test that rev limiter.

5500... that's nothing! At the track I am always between 4000 and 6500 rpms. I've hit the rev limiter so many times I have a nose-print on the steering wheel where the jolt makes me lurch forward

Great!, So that'll mean I'll be able to drive it harder next time without being scared of doing harm to anything internally.
