I'm not convinced there is one single country anywhere that you can claim as a general rule everyone always redlines their cars

amongst one particular community maybe, amongst your group of friends sure but other than that it's a ridiculous sweeping statement

I can only go by what I've seen on this forum as a 'general rule' in the 4 years I've been reading posts and I don't actually recall seeing even one post about someone blowing a head gasket or cracking the block

I may have missed something though, are we talking about standard setups, or where people have had silly remaps
