How does anyone else feel about this?
Fine.
 
Let's see, over rev the engine so that the valve springs can't get the valves out of the way and, uh, something might crunch.
 
We utilize unique engines where individual cylinder assemblies are replaceable rather than the whole engine of which only a few thousand are made each year.
 
We run our engines in excess of 75% power hour-after-hour.  At 75 MPH my water cooled Corvette engine idles along at 1600 RPM with a 6000+ max RPM capability that is only reached occasionally for short periods of time.
 
Just ain't the same.....
