Jeff Alton - do you agree with the seemingly commonly held opinion that the M97 of this vintage lives longer when the revs are kept "high" (or higher when compared to what (general) drivers think of as the norm).

Until I read it in some other Porsche forum, I wouldn't have believed it but I saw what seem to be a Porsche recommendation for minimum up-shift RPMs for the different gears.

I certainly agree that no engine should be "lugged" but I'm trying to distinguish between that and having the engine live longer because its lifetime engine RPM average is high/higher. (Which on the face of it seems counter intuitive.)

I also agree that not "getting crazy" with the engine RPMs is warranted with cold oil.
