    The faster the rpm, the better you climb hills . 4th gear or higher is only for flat roads. Even my old Corolla 1.8 could handle 4500 to 5000 rpm all the way up the Grapevine. I would fly past people that were trying to climb it in high gear , and I was still driving it north of 350,000 miles and it still ran like new. Lower rpm on hill climbs would actually decrease engine life. Too much strain.

    Even for being on the lower end of the range of 911s, the 911T Is awesome to see from Porsche. Theyve got every 911 owner covered. As long as you can afford it, there's a 911 that is going to be the best daily or weekend car you ever buy. I see Porsche as a company doing a lot of things right. The last 10 years have been momentous for Porsche. The Macan was a huge success and they didn't compromise on Porsche philosophy on driving experience. That's why we can have cars like this. There are people paying off $100k on a diesel pickup, and I don't understand it but I say let them have their fun. It makes the Porsche lineup look reasonably priced for what you get. And that's how you can justify buying a Porsche! If driving is something you love, life is too short to drive boring cars.

    The nice part about the seven speed is that the first six are nice and close and allow a great low end spacing, and when you are on the highway, you can turn less than 2000rpm at +70mph, and the fuel economy you get from that... So, rare that you do spirited driving with 7th gear engaged; spend all your time in the first six, and it gates really intuitively.

    The “T” is the right 911 spec for an enthusiast. But for a bit less money, a Cayman GTS 4.0 caters to a more hard-core driver and adds the inherent balance of a mid-engine and the naturally-aspirated response and sound. The tech isn’t as current, but having rewatched your review of a 2021 GTS 4.0, it’s probably even better for sheer driving pleasure (since the T only has 2 seats anyway).
