Default Any ideas?

Today all of a sudden i started feeling all the bumps as i drive and everything started being more loose. As i was driving around some kid in a Honda prelude wanted to race me... so i couldn't resist but since my car is still at 600 miles i didn't take it over 6k rpm but i shifted fast and gave her lots of gas then all of a sudden the ride just stiffened up the steering was hard to turn just like when i got it off the dealership with 15 miles on it and the suspension started feeling better too. So anybody got any ideas... or i am just imagining things. Also before i realized that my tires were summer tires and i was trying to get out of the snow i accidentally took the car to red line when she was about 400 miles ... could that couse any major future problems? Sorry if my questions seem stupid or childish but since my last car broke a rod I'm just trying to avoid any future problems or at least catch them while i can.

First the snow incident, now a prelude? I think your Nismo is dying of shame

First of all all my life I'm used to driving beaters to this is my first new car that i have ever owned so pardon me if I'm just concerned. So if you don't have any ideas on the situation keep criticism and jokes to yourself.

but seriously, you should just chill with the car until the break in is done (i believe 1200 mi or so?), then you can continue to redline all day long

Maybe you should check if the dealership removed the spacers from the springs

and your engine is going to be fine, redlining it every now again won't break it even when it's in it's break in period.
