My 172 Cup took years of it being thrashed within an inch of its life and kept coming back for more
Strange that, mine did for about a year too..........

mx5s like to be ragged
The supercharged one seems like it spent more time sideways than straight

Mazda RX-8 ....They love high revs and redlining them daily is meant to do the engine good...

Disappointed, usually someone has said hire car by now.
The only cars I've been in that I've not winced at the top end are numerous Hondas and Will Gills M3.
Hondas are the most happiest at the top end, but lets just say that if I was in a Keanu Reeves "Speed" type situation, I'd want Will Gill at the wheel. With him you'd have a good constant 60mph buffer before the speed got low enough to set the bomb off.

Is it only Honda that qualifies here?
If you want a chuckable car that you can take the redline often and generally be 'hard' on most of the time, where would your money go?
Not just being hard on the engine but the suspension components with fairly aggressive driving.
What is the best car for this job?

Nice thread, my flying broke 2 rear springs in the Volvo I used to have. And my trashing made a few parts go fubar on my Mitsubishi too.
If I'm to believe the adverts, a golf :

Nah but I'm really interested too, I didn't realize Clio's were bomb proof too.
2 mates of mine have 106's, one has a 1.4 and one has a gti, both drive like absolute morons ( 100+ mph on motorways constantly, chucking it at every corner and roundabouts, always driving around 4000-6000 rpm, etc...) but apparently the cars have always taken the beating happily.

Something with a high revving engine, like this:
2mins onwards you see him chasing down my car

I thought either that Nova was **** slow or your GHD was somewhat rapid.
Then I read your sig
No disguised swearing.
Not sure if the 1.4 was the same engine as in my 306 but that used to get well and truly trashed pretty much every day (partly due to its complete lack of power!) and at 117k it was mechanically perfect and didn't use a drop of oil.
