Revving 430 engine all the time.
What do you think gentlemen?
Revving it all the time in neutral while the oil is fresh and the engine is on the right temperature? How bad can this be?
Some say that these engines are indestructible but some other say that revving is quite bad.....
I drive the car just normal. No abuse and everything with respect. Just a kick down once in a wile. But I really love that revving... especially in tunnels and when there is a meeting.
I,m posting this here because I want the most possible opinions and there are just more people in the GS section here then in the LS section.

Not sure why anyone would want an LS to sound like that, but it sounds mean. To each their own.
In regards to revving. Technically, every moment that an engine is running is adding to the gradual wear and tear that will ultimately render the engine worn out. The higher the rpm whether at idle or on the road is just getting it there faster. An engine that spends more time at high rpms will wear out quicker than one that is driven modestly. Every round per minute (RPM) is a full rotation of the internal rotating assembly. This is metal shafts and rods riding on other metal bearings (though protected by a hydrodynamic wedge of oil). Piston rings scraping up and down the cylinder walls etc. The faster this happens and the more heat let off from the motion and faster combustion will most definitely speed up and cause more of this gradual wear and tear. But it still is very gradual. I say do what makes you happy and enjoy your car. It's only a car at the end of the day and you can get another one or replace what you damage if that ever occurs.
Long story short. Of course it's not good for an engine. It's also a waste of resources/money in fuel expenditure that isn't being used for forward motion. Excess emissions if you care about that sort of thing. So nothing good about it. But will it ever hurt your engine in the time that you own the vehicle? Probably not.

The 1 and 3UZ have always been said to be reliable engines, and I think Toyota knew what they were doing when they set the redline where it was. Oil and lubrication has come a far way since then in regards to wear. I think you'll be perfectly fine revving every once and awhile. Not the same engine, but I rev and beat the absolute **** out of my GS300. I drive with my foot to the floor half of the time and the other half I'm driving like a grandma (I'm a good boy in traffic) and I can attest to my motor lasting. My engine runs great, compression is solid, and it's never left me stranded. I took the valve covers off to do gaskets and the cams looked clean of wear on the lobes, and with 0 sludge buildup, and I bet if you kept up with oil changes yours will too lol.
