Easiest way to do it safely is to get on the highway in 2nd, floor it, and shift at 6k.

All good comments here. You are missing the true fun side of a Porsche. Above 3K all the way to redline, these cars come alive. As Ed said, if you haven't got the experience behind the wheel, be cautious until you get the hang of things.

You are in for some fun, my friend. Enjoy your car!
