Max rev's

[steve.B]

On a 996 (03) 3.6 engine how far can you push that rev counter needle to?
What happens when you reach that point. I believe there are no limiters on these cars, Is that correct?
Also well on the subject of speed and engines is it a good thing to give the engine a few more rev's on occasions. If yes then at what level.
Cheers

There is a rev limiter, try not to keep letting it cut in, best to just rev to about 6 really.

Porsche's don't have speed limiters, a diferent thing.

When cold take it easy, when warm, just play!!!!

No point in taking a basic 3.6 much past 6000RPM as the power just dips anyway. Check out the BHP/Torque diagram in your user manual, you'll see what happens after the 6K mark.
