Red line is the guarantied safe rpm limit.

I've meet people that upgrades their engine for more power but never go above 4000 rpm....
Most stock Porsches make peak power around 5800, if you don't go there your leaving power on the table. It is in fact good for the engine to be run hard from time to time.
However I'm not recommending to shift every time at 6000, for example around town, that's just stupid and makes other people want to shot you.
