I don't think of going to redline as being aggressive, but I quess that depends on what you mean by "aggressive." Evidently, you are defining "aggressive" in terms of maximum RPM attained under some circumstances. So, I answered very aggressive since I go to redline when testing and occassionally on the street.

Hmm, I'm not sure what to put so I voted moderately aggressive.
Half the time I am driving my family around, and I don't drive aggressive at all.
During the rest of the time, I'm going on runs with some local sports car owners (BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Vette). We drive very aggressively. I also plan on doing some AutoX and track events when it gets warm.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I agree with Don: Shreaking RPMs do not make agressiveness in my book. When I was a kid, I used to like to get 60 out of 2nd, in my XK-E, (and when that was a big deal, mechanically), but not anymore.
I am however, known for hat tricks-plus (passing at least 3 at a clip) and that usually means double the double-nickle by the time one pulls back in line. It's what has always made ski trips to the mountains fun.
Oh, and when in Vermont, passing (legally) over double-yellow lines (as long as they aren't marked with "Unsafe to Pass" signs on shoulder.)
Maybe that's "passive-agressive?"
