city driving - under 3500rpm

racing? I think I haven't gone above 5500 (or wherever the redline is - I stay right under it)

I don't drive my car much, so when I do I usually give it a bit of a workout once it's warmed up. 5500 is pretty common for me especially in the lower gears...I get up there quick with the lightweight flywheel...good times. It just feels like these engines like it up there...that's where Porsche put all the torque so I'm pretty sure they expected folks to get up there more often than not...

I hit at least 6,400 rpm multiple times a day (1,2,3) and the car loves it. 17psi and over 22K miles at 95 miles a day... Thank God my commute is all rural state/county roads with little to no traffic
