Dude it's a darn Porsche.....get on the car and ride it however you want!

Just expect to replace tires and oil more often if you auto-x,d.e. or tracking it.

Here is what happened to me when I thought like you. I had my 99' for 2 years,I only saw 6k rpm ONCE,that's right ONCE in two years. Then guess what happened? I crashed it and the only regret I ever had with that car was not pushing it hard enough. Now that I have my 01' S it's a completely different scenario. This thing sees 6k once every drive. And to be honest,the more I push the car,the more faith I develop in it. It actually seems to run better when I'm pushing it into the higher rpm area.

Just maintain the car like Porsche says and you'll be good to go.
