"The interesting thing to me is that Porsche doesn't gear the Tiptronic or the Control Unit to shift at 4k rpm, I wonder why they wouldn't do that? And, the Tip cars generally have a more trouble-free life than the Manuals"
That IS actually pretty interesting.
And BTW- if very high RPM were good for engine life, imagine how long a NASCAR engine should last! Driven JUST BELOW REDLINE for hours on end and with fresh Mobil 1 to boot!
Think of it, a million mile NASCAR engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
