I thought you were supposed to red-line these cars!

The motors have rev limiters that prevent over-revving anyway, unless you over-rev on a forced downshift or something. Maybe the newer engines are different but I routinely rev up to red-line just about everytime I drive my 3.2 Targa (after it's warmed-up). It's never been apart and runs like an an angry top. It's really amazing, I wish I could thank the guy who bolted it together in 1987!

Yeah, that was true with my SC. You had to rev to 4000 rpm or more a few times when you drove it. But it's not true anymore--I was told by the dealer not necessary for my 03 Boxster. Probably not for the water-cooled 911s.
