I still think that driving smoothly and with less RPM will extend engine and suspension life, less RPM=less stress=longer life.
But if you "beat" on your car properly, i.e. engine is not low on oil, it is at full operating temperature and the cooling system works properly, there is no reason why full throttle and high RPM should cause extra wear, unless high RPM operation is sustained for long periods of time.
However, I've seen plenty of "advice" that says something like: "just drive it hard, the cars is designed for it" on Mazda 3 Forums, most likely made by younger drivers. And let me tell you, that forum is littered with blown engines, burning oil problems and engines making ticking or knocking sounds.
