7300!!!!! 
I'm right at redline in a GTS...it sure sounds sweet right there with PSE through a Sharky X-pipe.
Well, sweet might not be accurate- it's more like Ironman being beheaded with a chainsaw.
I do sometimes bounce off the limiter to save a shift. Guilty as charged.
Car seems designed to run forever in the upper ranges, no issues after many an hour-plus mountain run above 4K.

No issues.
Even with AirCon on, both oil and H2O temps do rise, but never near the max operating range.
My tire pressures increase from 32/39 cold to 37/44.
I drive in SoCal, Malibu Canyons get up in the low 90's in summer, but they all end at seal level and the coastal temps are often 20-30 degress lower in summer. The Angeles Crest and Maricopa Highways (Hwy 33 above Ojai), Big and Little Tujunga Canyon roads can get up to 100 in summer. I normally drive all day with a long lunch to break it up.
Running at high RPM does drink gas. I typically get 120 miles on one tank when storming canyons.
OEM brakes (nothing special, same as an S...4 piston calipers) have never exhibited fade, and I do treat them like expendibles- lots of late/trail braking rather than downshifts. The car red-lines in 2nd gear at 73mph, and the roads I drive are mostly continuous curves with climbs and descents that rarely afford speeds above 75. The high speed sweepers (80-100 mph) on the Angles and Maricopa highways are in 3rd gear, rarely 4th.
High speed runs to Vegas are done at night for traffic, LEO and high desert temp avoidance. The car has run over an hour at 115+ with all temps in the lower area of normal range. It's a comfortable autobahn stormer.
The 997 engineers did a great job managing the heat created when driving hard or fast, IMO.
(I think the OEM 3rd radiator on a .2 is for PDK cooling).
