You have barely gotten to know this car and I really doubt redline will be hurting it at 600 miles.
Porsches change a lot at the upper end of the rpm’s. Just floor it and go from there and I know you’re going to respond that Porsche can see it …. Whoop Dee do … you paid $140k just drive it already.

Thanks for the advice Alan. I am simply not in love with it and I suspect subconsciously my mind has already closed the chapter on it. BTW, with ttt and PPF I am in at $150k.
FYI, I spent a full day driving it 150 miles through the Mtns. which included going through The Dragon to NC and back to TN (318 turns in 11 miles) a month ago. Nothing mind blowing was discovered during the process.
My former BMW client advisor for decades, whom retired at the end of January called me three weeks ago to check-in as we became friends over the past 30+ years. This happened to be the first time that I made him aware that I had purchased a new 911. His advice was, “If you do not love it now then you are never going to love it, so it truly makes zero sense to keep it in hope that you eventually force yourself into liking it.” He is 100% correct.
I originally wanted a manual S and settled for a T because I could acquire one quicker, clearly this might have not been the best idea. It would appear that when you have the itch for something specifically, you cannot scratch that itch with something else. Obviously hindsight now.

You would be 100% accurate, especially with me knowing that PAG can internally see the rev ranges if they so desire. Which I confidently know if there is a powertrain related failure, they will fully investigate as to why. I do not want to be held accountable for one, especially financially.
4300 RPM is my infrequent limit at 6XX miles and obviously only at the full operating temp of 205-210°.
