Shift Points for Maximum Acceleration

[blue2000s]

There's alot of confusion here.

Depending on the power band, there CAN be a benefit to short-shifting but it's not common in production passenger vehicles and clearly not the case with the Boxster. This is deliberately done by the designers.

I encourage anyone who's really interested in understanding this stuff to look up "Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics" by Thomas D. Gillespie.
