Proper way to drive a TR?

So, I have logged 116 miles in my first 3 weeks of TR ownership, and I am still getting used to driving it. The dog leg shift from 1st to 2nd leaves me feeling like I have never driven a stick!

Air Cooled Porsches like to run around at around 3000 rpm. Below that you feel like you are lugging around and fouling plugs and all of that. On a 930, it is pretty common to downshift into 1st with a "double clutch" to make a slow, square, corner. The TR seems to like 3000 rpm as well and seems to be ok with going around the corner in 2nd given its mountain of low-end torque.

Knowing that I am about to get barraged by opening a Pandora's Box, what is the consensus on driving a TR?

Thanks,

Mark

 

I was pleasantly surprised that the stereo works including the CD Player. Two things I forgot to test when I test drove it was the horn and the stereo. I also prefer "Enzo's Song" although ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man was pretty nostalgic running down the street!

 

Yeah, that is a good one as well. I got the two CD Jan Hammer Miami Vice Soundtrack on ebay.

 

I think that would freak me out, but I have no doubt that you can do it. I have been driving the 930 4 speed for so long I don't know what to do with that extra gear. Kind of funny. A 6 speed would leave me lost.
