The short answer is NO. But the long answer is, well...yes. I have hit red line on many hot rods, many times over a few decades. I have driven big blocks, small blocks, 3, 4,5 and 6 speed manuals. I have never blown an engine or transmission and I have driven the piss out of my cars.
But it's all about whether or not you sustain redline. Don't do it. Hit it and back off.
Just my two cents.
