I have a S with a 6 speed, so yes, the shift points could be a little different as to speed. In any case I don't see why you need to rev high for just cruising other that the wonderful sound at higher rpm. Certainly don't want to lug the engine either.

IIRC many that track the 986 prefer the 5 speed because of the gear ratios
