I'm curious at what speeds/RPMs other owners are shifting at under normal street driving conditions. I find I'm shifting around the 3k-4K rpm range, and generally keep it around 3k RPM for a given speed range.
What do other people do? Under what circumstances do you use 6th gear? 5th gear can sit in the 80 MPH range at around 4K RPM, dropping it into 6th at that speed drops the RPMs into the 2k range, but the engine gets very quiet and it feels sluggish when trying to pass. Is it ok to keep it in 5th at the 70-80 MPH range?
I appreciate anyone's feedback.
