Huh? Is this even a topic? Redline for me...i redline it whether casual, street, or track, every time.

Save gas? Better for engine? Break-in/warm-up? Sounds boring to me. Why even buy a Porsche? You're better off owning a Prius.

Sure, the transmission will probably have to be entirely rebuilt soon but at least I'm having fun, high-reving fun to be exact.

I let the oil warm up and stay below around 3.5/4k. After that point, I am happiest when shifting between 6.5k to when power starts to drop off near redline. I have bounced off the limiter only a couple times. No harm, no foul.

I never could understand when drivers shift early all the time in a car like a 911. What's the point???

I should add my car is NOT my DD... if it were, my guess is that most of the time I would be keeping it below 5k or 6k... but only for practical reasons (not wanting to have full power on tap at every possible moment...)

He needs to live up to his username, max_racer. No redline = no fun.

It was a topic 4 years ago - why aren't you out driving instead of bringing back to life a 4 year old thread?
