Does driving a car aggressively put more wear and tear on the car than driving conservatively? Yes. Should you worry about it? Probably not.
If I put 100,000 miles on a car, and 70% of those miles came on a racetrack with the motor constantly spinning above 4,000 RPM, hard braking, hard cornering, etc., that car would likely have more problems than a car driven conservatively (never above 4K RPM, easy on the brakes, easy on the corners). However, your motor isn't going to explode because you wind it up to 6K now and then!
Don't drive like a moron, but have some fun now and then!
