RPM for Everyday Driving
I have a new 987 that is about two weeks old. I'm currently in the engine 'break-in' period so I was told to stay under 4200 RPM. I'm staying within those limits for now. My Porsche dealer said that once I'm outside the break-in period, the car can be driven regularly (in lower gears) pushing it to 6500 RPM to get the max power.
This is the first true sports car I have owned, so in the past when I have had manual transmissions I shifted when the engine started to whine. Seems like my engine starts whining around 4000 RPM today. So my question is, is it really OK to regularly push the Porsche to 6000+ RPM before shifting when doing normal driving. Does this create increased wear and tear?
Let me know your thoughts.
