If thats true, then you arent even utilizing the G's full potential, bro. It looks great but it also runs great. That doesnt mean redline it but 3000rpm?
Then again, to each his own. I guess it is still great knowing its there when you want it so...

beating on it would be redline every day.... to me anyway
and think of it like this.... beating on your car increases your heart rate so you can tell yourself it's exercise..... the more frequently you increase your heart rate, the healthier your cardiovascular system is..... which would you rather break first? the G? or YOU? haha

Beating it would be hitting the limiter on a regular basis and slamming every shift and dropping the clutch hard all the time.
