Gentlemen, rev your engines!
Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide (2nd edition), by R. Leffingwell.
On pg. 194 in reference to reliability:
" You could have a failure if the previous owner ran low on oil, used the wrong plugs, or consistently shifted below 3,000 rpm.
The improved reliability of 964, 993, and 996 has enticed many individuals to buy their first Porsche. But getting first-time owners to run the engine past 4,500 rpm is difficult. The truth is, it's more harmful if you don't run these engines."
