Why would it hurt it?
As long as you're not sat there, bouncing it off the rev limiter for a couple of minutes. Holding it near to redline shouldn't do any noticeable damage at all. Remember that the redline is there to prevent you from spinning the engine faster than the combined parts' tolerances. As long as you're under the redline, you're well inside those parts' tolerances.

Nice car
And the guy asked how they recorded IN the redline area. WHich is where engine componants arent completely able to tolerate the loads.
My redzone starts at 6500rpm and continues up until redline at 7,250rpm. It is possible to exceed redline, to 7,500rpm, for very, very short bursts, and you can feel and hear the valve float if you push much further.
At the 7,250rpm redline, all of the parts are inside their tolerances, and I would have no hesitation holding it there for a few seconds (a couple of minutes under load - and a very memorable 7 minutes once). That's the point of redlines - up until that point the manufacturer of the engine components is happy that none of the parts will fail simply from use. Beyond that point they cannot guarantee this - though they usually build in an 8-10% failsafe.
Would I rev to redline so SCEE could record my car's engine sound? Yes. Would I be worried about damage to my engine through doing it? Not even slightly.

i seen a pic of a Gran turismo 4 in progress in playstation mag,they have pictures of microfones at the front and rear of the cars,plus many others will all this equipment and also cameras recordin the exhaust smoke.
IMO the ford 5.4l cars (lightning, mustang cobra, and the GT) sound great with the sport exhaust and sound like a real after market exhaust. (Believe me, I live in houston so I know what an aftermarket sounds like)
But how come sometimes I can hear the GT (my most driven car atm) as well inside as in the behind view, but sometimes the sound is very muffled inside and sounds normal outside? Glitch?

Your redzones called redline, redline starts at 6500 in your case. Some older cars and almost all new cars come with a cutout too, to prevent people from valve bouncing. In gt4 cutout is what makes it lower the engine rpm when you get deep in the red.
Also though this is from wikipedia about redline:
So pretty much anything UNDER redline is what the manufacture have designed your engine componants for. In my case im sure my car could go into redline with no probs ( my car has no cutout like yours), but being 17 years old as mine is, consistent wear and tear would mean the engines are no longer in pristine condition like it was when the manufacture would have tested its componants.
Ooow, heres something else from wiki:
New cars would probably have no prob with it, but i wouldnt push it with us older bess'es haha.
