Generally correct, but not 130 - they normally give you a maximum rpm. 130 is far away from 5000rpm, I think 200 shoudn`t be a problem. Although it`s not such a great problem today, it was more important in the past. Porsche offers cars which are already runned in

@ Stuttgart: No hotel to write home about, nothing above "First Class" what means 4 star in Germany. Schlossgarten seems to be renovated, it was for years a Museum of the 70th. When I´m next time in Stuttgart I will choose the Graf Zeppelin or Schlossgarten. Not sure, I´m not to keen to go.... Perhaps best choice would be Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe (60 km)
