With all these treads on good RPM ranges, I was always curious what the Auto was doing. From the single response here, the auto appears to run the flat 6 at a much lower RPM range then most suggest.
Since the Auto's shift points can be programmed by the Porsche Engineers, can one infer that lower RPMs for general driving are expected?????

I would like to see more Auto owner's observations.

Does the PDK behave the same with respect to automatic shift point RPM ranges???

I have always been of the opinion that being in to low of a gear, low RPMs, puts a lot of stress on the clutch and the motor - Auto or Manual

Like riding a bike up a hill:
Higher gear, sit and spin - slower up but less stressful
Lower gear, stand and thump those pedals (better be fit for this) - faster up but a lot more stressful
