neanicu,
I have another "take" for you... I think that as time goes on, you will realize that the powerband on the stock turbo engine starts to fade at around 5500 RPM's... This engine can be short shifted without any loss of power, because when you shift you drop the RPM right back into the sweat spot.
The tach is not accurate, what I mean by that is >> the RPM's rise faster than the sweep of the needle. Many time you need to shift at 6200 RPM's so that you don't hit the Fuel Cut. If one really want to see how they are doing you need to get some datalogging software and plot your shift points.
Please note, that if you are banging your Hard fuel cut-off limiter, in the lower gears you risk overspeeding the engine. It is common to break the tires loose, the inertia will carry you past the stock Rev limiter. Type 1 and type 2 overRevs will be counter. If you have these REVS at the hours clock after your purchase and sustain engine damage. Porsche will void your CPO warranty. The CPO warranty is not a 100% get out of jail card for you..

Thank you Kevin!
The way you've explained everything to me made me understand very well! Now that's much better than calling me an idiot,right cannon1000?
The truth is I've only gotten to the redline a few times,you can count it on the fingers of one hand. I just got a little annoyed by the ironic comments before.
I usually take good care of my car and I don't abuse it.
I think that installing a 997 SSK will make me shift better,which I'm going to do next. The stock shifter feels a little clunky.

Hopefully you will have someone who knows a bit more about the linkeage on these cars. Installing a shifter wrong can cause you to eventually have the dreded 2nd gear pop out . What happens is if the cables are not providing the full throw, your second gear will not fully engage and eventually wear out making you gett a trans repair. So make sure you get a qualified person to install thwe shifter!

These statements show a lack of understanding of your car, or frankly any other motor vehicle.
Sorry I offended you, but you sound extremely immature with a lot more money than sense. If you drive a car that way without it occurring to you that you were doing something wrong, then that is a sign of Ignorance (This just means you don't know something, not an insult). But to keep doing it...
Then to followup with what sounds to be coming from a teenager about not worrying about abusing it because it's a Porsche and under CPO...they'll fix it. That is also a very immature statement. Then to top it off with the statement about not letting a $25k mustang pass your $60k Porsche...shows us all what kind of maturity you really have. What are you going to do when a $6000 Sportsbike passes you?
Sorry to offend you. But you clearly have a lot of growing up to do.
No one attacks "newbies" on here. In fact, we welcome them with open arms. I read your introduction posts and they were all very positive.
Oh, and I don't think "irony" and "ironies" means what you think it does.
Sometimes when I push it hard,from 6500 RPM and up it won't hold the revs and I get a burned rubber smell after. (So Do Not Do it)
I also read somewhere it was a safety so you don't over rev. (Exactly. The first warning you should not do it)
Either way,it's weird for such a low mileage 996TT that's never been abused. (No it Isn't. Didn't you read it)
Not to mention that I can't never get the 4 sec 0-60 mph with this clutch. (It's a Porsche on public roads and you are not a race car driver)
Any hardcore racing clutch you would recommend? (Hardcore? What's wrong with the one you have?)
Any idea what's causing it? (You)
I just thought the redline is higher. (Why?)
I didn't even know there's a fuel cut off to protect the engine. (Is this your first car?)

These cars are meant to be driven hard! Porsche didn't make this car to go to church on a Sunday morning. (Really? Yes, we all know what they are for.)
Plus,as I said,my car is CPO for another year,so when abusing it if not now?! (You don't see a problem with this statement?)
What's the worst it could happen? Engine?....covered! Transmission?....covered! Clutch?....not covered.... (The Worst? Yes all of that and NOT COVERED by CPO)
Thank you for all your informations and critical opinions,everyone is right in their own way and budget.
(I don't even know how to interpret that...sounds to me like you are saying "For all you poor cheap asses out there that are worried about breaking your car you are right. But I am wealthy and the cost to fix my car doesn't concern me." No, all the replies were right, period.)
I'm not going to drive my car with 50 mph when I spent 60K...and I hate to be passed by a 25K Mustang with upgrades. (Enough said, now we understand. Good to see that some people live up to the Porsche stereotype.
Try not kill anyone out there everytime someone tries to pass you...it will happen a lot.)

Thanks Cannon1000!
I'm 31 and I work hard for every penny.
You're obviously more mature and know much more than me,that's why I respect your opinion,just like I respect everyone else's.
I wish you the best and enjoy your car! Drive safely out there!

I think he just called you and old geezer cannon. 
neanicu,
Glad you are doing well and able to afford a 996tt. I'm relatively new to these cars and this board, but most of these guys know their stuff. Just about all of us have a lot of experience with cars. You came off like a cocky teenager who thinks he knows a lot more than he does. My advice is:
1) This is a machine and like any machine it has capabilities and limitations. You should learn what these are.
2) Keep your ears open and mouth shut (figuratively speaking) while you are learning.
3) If you have a question, read the owner's manual. If you still have a question, then ask it in a respectful manner.
4) Don't try to race every rice rocket that wants to challenge you. Just smile at the less fortunate. Remember you are driving a Porsche. Have a little dignity.
5) If you really want to learn how to drive this car, then join PCA and attend their Driver Education days. Professional drivers will show you how to drive the car at it's limits.
6) Related to #4, keep your racing to the track. By your own statements you can afford it. These cars are much too powerful to drive at their limits safely on public streets. With the ability to buy one of these cars comes the responsibility to set a safe example.
Just my .02. Enjoy your car and all the good advice you will get here. Just tone it down a bit.

SSST,
I think I've asked my question in a respectful manner.
But after a few responses,they started making fun...the redline it's that dotted line on your rev meter,you're going to end up in the ICU,geez I can't believe there're people out there that abuse their cars like that etc. Out of nowhere...these coments.
Like you said,we're all here to learn from each other and in my case,learn from the more experienced.
Did I commit a murder I didn't know about the fuel cut?!
I think we all have to learn at some point,just like you've learned yourself at your time.
That's the only reason I made those comments. I'm not a cocky teenager.
Peace!

Kevinmacd,
That's what a dealer quoted me,but I'll try to find a better price from another dealer in Ny area.
Or maybe I should buy the kit myself and just install it there,I don't know. But like you were saying,I think I should have it install by a dealer and pay more rather than not installing it the right way.

Try a Porsche specialist shop other then a dealer, just make sure they are reputable. I would really make sure it's done right. I am sure you can find one! Maybe buy the shifter on the intrnet, and then pay a shop to install. There are three versions, factory short shifter, 997, and GT3 all offer different levels of shifting throws. Keep in mind as the throws get shorter the effort will probably increase somewhat.

Thanks Kevinmacd,
I know about Suncoast,I ordered parts from them before.
I just wonder if I should go for the 997 SSK or the GT3. It says that the GT3 has aluminum. I know there's a thread on this forum about that,so I'm going to read there what people think it's best.
About finding a reputable shop in Ny besides the dealer,it's very hard! I'll do a research,maybe I'll find some recommendations on this forum.
