Life after 4200 RPM
hi guys,
I am closely approaching break in but have yet to reach that critical mark so I have tried to keep it under 4200rpm.
Can anyone describe the car after 4200 RPM.....dying to know.
thanks,

Above 4200 rpm it can land one in jail, if driving on the street. Sport + is pretty loud and really makes the car thrust forward very fast.

I actually followed the Break In period as well. Once the car got to 2,000 miles I started to drive it as it was intended. The performance of the engine is wonderful. Pulls in all gears, great response from 3,500RPM's and beyond. It wants to be revved up, the gears are well placed to use the power, and the new suspension seems to want to enter corners faster so why not try? More fun than you can have on a street, take it to a track ASAP and run it.

Thanks for your responses guys made me laugh...... my car is a 7spd C2S and I am really enjoying it. Aamersa you are absolutely correct this car wants to travel fast. If you try to tack it up through the gears it takes no time at all to break the law. I landed my first speeding ticket with the car in the first 700kms. I don't remember my 997.1 C2S requiring me to push it to feel the thrill. However I think this car feels much more planted at speed thus it takes more speed to upset it.

haha Galion your hilarious. Waited too long to just beat the crap out of it. 2800 kms......Almost there should be any day now. This has been the ultimate test in self control. A close friend of mine who is a porsche mechanic assured me to drive the crap out of it from day one. I plan on keeping this one for a while so I decided to treat it gently but those days are numbered

Hey guys don't get in trouble on my account, like i mentioned before already got my first ticket and it sucks. Be careful don't want anyone to get into any problems. Glad you did not get a ticket Zmoney I guess the cop had a hard time arguing with what you did.
Congrats on the new ride Jmax your going to love it.

reminds me of my first Porsche. I drove around the peninsula south of San Francisco, in and around the watershed area in San Mateo County. I drove across this narrow dam, and took a hard right down the valley. Cop pulls me over after following me down the valley to a turnout:
SIR, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS ON THAT TURN?
no
IT WAS 15. I HAVE RADAR, DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING?
no
I GOT YOU AT 72. LICENSE AND REGISTRATION PLEASE
(I hand him the docs, cop goes back to car. Comes back in about a minute - I am crapping myself.)
SIR IF I HAD A CAR LIKE THAT I WOULD DO THE SAME THING. HAVE A NICE DAY.
This was an HONEST TO GOD true story. I had a little red 911, was a local, and had zero tickets on my record.... and a little race training.... haha
