No... use the right oil, make sure the car is warm, and known how to shift gears.
My old 87 Honda Accord LXi had 270,000 mi on it and saw 6000 rpm daily, when I overrevved it. I was taking racing school students around Watkins Glen into the downhill 'boot' section (100 mph) when the brakes faded bad. Needed engine braking fast and floated it to 8000 rpm, milked the brakes, and back again down to 6000 rpm, a gurgle, full song again. A valve adjustment a week later - good as new!
Ran M1 5W-30 for most its life at 4000 mi intervals and it was solid at 305k when I sold it. Nearly no cam wear or consumption. Sold it due to body rust.
Same thing with my old 1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L pickup truck. 200K and revved hard and long. Used M1 5W-30 for a long time, then 0W-30.
