If you were ever on Long Island I'd have to take you out some time...
I just bought my first porsche (also my first manual) and I've never driven stick before so i figured that it'd mess up my engine if i shifted past 3k...

so i was disappointed and told my friends "its not as fast as you'd think it would be"

after reading this i took it out on the parkway and did some 5k-7k shifting and it was like a completely different car... so much more fun to drive haha
thanks
