Never. I voted never not because it's a Porsche...
It's because even with a 7200 redline, just going to the 6000s puts me way past any speed limit and I can't see where I'm actually getting anymore out of the engine. The only reason to go redline is so the shift down keeps you at max HP/torque
BUT you really can't do that on 99.9% of public roads
Race track yes
Even my usual 4-5000 shift point has me leaving the red light crowd way back until I hit the next red light. Then they pull up around me and shake their heads
"It's just a Boxster - Mid-life crisis guy"
Though the other day I was back roading and at the corner was a group of cyclist waiting for stragglers
I went by mildly in first - no reaction. I took second up to 6k, glanced in the mirror(I'm so Vein) and all their heads snapped around to look and take in the glorious sound
