Your Boxster is not happy when you run it below 2000. Just don't do it.

Unless I am cruising on the hwy at perhaps 2600rpm, I generally do not let the rpm go below 3000.
seconded. and, if you're going to be in "D" mode in a Tip, either do it once you're up to speed or be prepared to keep the accelerator mashed to the floor the whole time - (that's more fun anyway).

i've found that the "learning" function of the Tip is quite temporary. once you've backed off the accelerator for a few seconds it goes back to grandma mode.
