Porsche has to expect this car to be driven like a sports car.

They have to protect themselves from abuse and ignorance; they shouldn't pay for missed downshifts etc.

But, there was a comment from Porsche in an article about manufacturers voiding warranties for DE days, lapping, track use, and even autocross. Seems Mistubishi owners that autox were finding their warranties voided. The Porsche comment said something like "We are not going to refuse coveredge for someone enjoying our product to the fullest, but you cannot expect us to finance someones racing season with warranty work." Now I am 95% sure it was Porsche 5% chance it was Ford. Subaru was bashed for also trolling autox results and voiding warranties.

I short shift some because I am cruising or just getting around but I rarely drive that I don't get on it through the gears. It just doesn't sound good until 5k.

My favorite thing about the base boxster is I can race around and it feels fast and sounds incredible, but I stay pretty legal.
