My RPM gauge redlines at 6200 (roughly). I do NOT do the following but would like your opinions. Is it harmful to the engine to routinuely rev up to 5000 RPM's before shifting up to the next gear. A salesman told me during a test drive to only shift up after passing the 4000 RPM mark. That was with a 2005 Boxster, I have a 1998, if that makes any difference. I look forward to your opinions. Thanks..
