What is the point of this retarded *** thread?

 

red line FTW

 

Reving to 8800 RPM
2nd @ 35
3rd @ 70
4th @ 105
5th @ 140

 

For what?? racing? street? parking lot? school zone? you can shift anywhere below redline.

 

hmm i dont race but for daily driving i usually shift at 3k if my engine is still cold, otherwise around 4k, when im pushing it usually 5.5 or 6, and once in a great while ill bring it to the redline.

 

DD = 3000rpm-4000rpm

 

3-5k

 

usually about 4k

I haven driven 5-spd since dec 5th cant wait to get the car back out the shop!

Maybe he's learning to drive stick and doesn't know when to shift ?

Back on topic :
3k all day every day every single gear

 

I prefer to bounce it off the rev limiter a few times then shift.

well you shift when the engine sounds and feels like it would shift in an automatic.

i agree, there is no specific time to shift,you shift when you feel like you should

 

A lot of it depends on your transmission, too... in my old LS, I would shift at 2.75 - 3k, but with my new GSR (which has a Type R tranny) I shift around 4-5. I guess a lot of that is subconscious and the needle looks like it's in the same place it was when I had my LS. Things are just different when you have a 8200 redline instead of a 6800.
