No machine is meant to be driven hard. It's not that they're not capable of it but in the big picture the engines that have been run hard will be a mechanics nightmare before a car that has been driven sensibly. Because of the way cars are built today it might take a long time but it will happen. Drive the car the way that let's you enjoy it and not the way you think someone else might enjoy it.
