Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

At cruising speeds (say 75 mph) in 6th I'm running about 3K rpm.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

Hi guys, I'm new to the Porsche community and I have a silly question. At cruising speeds (say 75 mph) in 6th I'm running about 3K rpm. Normal?

POST 2Original post

That seems normal to me.

POST 3Original post

That's normal for a 6 speed manual transmission, but a PDK has a 7th gear which would run at 2500 RPM at 75 MPH. Don't sweat it and enjoy the ride, but use full synthetic oil (5-40). Note that 3000 RPM is not even half way to red-line (7200 RPM) on the new A91 engines (2009+). On the earlier M97 engines, it's still only half way there.

POST 4Original post

Perfectly normal. It is a lot more fun to keep it around 4000 rpm and up:drivingskid:. I realize they are quieter at 3,000 rpm.

POST 5Original post

Thanks All! Its a 2007 C2s. As soon as it dries up around here I'll wash it and put up some picks. She is a cool blue/grey color - I cant recall the name of the color.

POST 6Original post

Best driveable torque is at about 4,000RPM, that's why they put it at the top. You don't really have to look at it during spirited driving. Below the top, shift down, above the top, shift up. Easy. 3,000RPM is perfectly fine for cruising.
