Range 1 1863 range 2 13

 

That's essentially nothing.

 

Sounds like another example of Range 2's acquired from hitting the rev limiter (for all the doubters out there who claim that isn't possible).

13 ignitions could not possibly have been misshift.

 

+ 1, absolutely nothing.

 

13 more than nothing lol

 

anyone with a raised limiter can rack up over revs both type one and two. I have stopped caring about it on mine. However, the next buyer will read the internet and assume my car is garbage. Oh well.

 

No, 13 less.

 

I actually hit my limiter today in first; not used to the LWFW yet I suppose... how bad is that?

 

It's not. A mechanical overrev on a missed shift is the "money shift". The valve train on a turbo can hit about 7500 rpm without an issue. Not that I would suggest it. Most tunes up the redline to 7k. 1st gear is silly in our cars.

 

Cheers,

 

math, never my strong suit

as many times as i've bounced off the limiter with a 7200 redline? i dont wanna even know lol

OP this info might help better explain our ecu vis a vis overrevs etc. http://www.911virgin.com/porsche/rev-range-information/

 

IMO a LWFW really makes 1st gear fun.

 

Agreed, but wow it got away from me quick!

 

For me one of the fun parts of a maximum effort pull in 1st gear with the LWFW is the "how quick things happen" part. It requires more attention in managing the car as compared to any straight line pull in the other gears. Paying attention to and managing wheel spin as required, timely and accurate crosscheck of the tach, and quick and accurate hand/feet coordination to execute a spot-on 1-2 shift, all done in a tight time window, while also enjoying the acceleration physiology, is a fun mental and physical process.

 

Very, very true - I had 2000kms on the dual mass and could nail the 1 - 2 shift, pure joy all the way through third...

I suspect that I'll just have to practice more, it'll be tough, but I'll make it through...
