Wow! The squeaky wheel got the grease, and then some... Thanks to all of you for your welcoming posts. I suppose I was conditioned to the 986/996 forum; where any post was jumped on, like a dog on a bone.
I just completed a 1900mi r/t to my family's place (Tucson to Santa Cruz, CA) for the 4th. Many parts of the desert sections of the trip showed 110+ on my outside temp readout. The Steam Gauge never got past the left side of the '0' in the 180 range. For most of the way, the sweet spot seemed to be 3200rpm, about in the middle of the torque-curve. 6th gear at that rpm, produced about 84mph, and returned 26mpg, according to the brain box. Wow again. I am looking forward to a long association with this incredible piece from Porsche, as well as this forum. Happy Motoring and Semper Fi,
Andy
