Default Mileage for Peak Torque and HP

At what mileage does the 997TT reach optimum HP and torque??

I really feel the car opening up now...I have 2200 miles. The engine seems to rev more freely now. Curious to find what others think.

I have over 11000 miles on mine and every time I drive it, I still feel like it has opened up a little more. I think most of the "freeing" happens the first 5000 miles though.

I agree with AAH986, My car peaked out at 10000 - 12000 miles and with Porsche its really apparent compared to other cars I've owned over the years.

Actually 11737 miles as of this morning and already on the second set of rear tires. The PS2s were down to the cords by 10k miles without track time.
You are missing a lot my friend.....

At about 1300. Wish I could drive it more - out of town too much.

Default miles

I thought at about 5500 to 6000 miles things were really starting to feel good. I've got about 7200 now and I still keep finding more than I expected.
