running it full throttle for a longer length of time i wouldn't think it would grenade your engine though (heck, depending on how you drive it could be good for it)

it would be like tryin to top your car out on the street, even though it will probably take all that 1/2 mile to do so but it sure as hell sounds fun!

I'd love to do this too. I don't know that I'd be worried unless I mod'd the car. Still, if it was done the right way, with good parts, I'm not sure it would be too big a deal. That's still probably less distance than some members here have raced on the freeway...
