I tend to go into high rpm when I can. My trip to my Business is around 10miles on some good Boxster roads, I go up to 7000 often. The car is a 2002 Boxter S with 86,000 miles on the clock , not had the IMS done yet.
My shifting habits in my 2000 S with recent improved IMS are just like the first poster,Meat head.
It's interesting to note that the Porsche graph in my owners manual and the sales brochure say that the 2000 S with the 3.2 motor produces 85% of its torque @ 2000 RPM.
That being said,it is such an effortless cruiser that I have to remind myself to keep the revs up!
