I think this is very sound advice. Frankly, "bouncing the car off the rev limiter" is for folks who have PLENTY of cash to spare. Moreover, for you guys under warranty, porsche keeps the data on the rev limiter and will use it to deny warranty repairs if they are in the mood.
That latter issue is a fact, I have seen it happen.
If one looks at the HP and torque CURVES of the Box, that bad boy starts to flag as it approaches 6000 I believe.
Running past there is more an exercise in ego than anything else. But, it is your car and your license.
Isn't freedom wonderful!
