I must have burned the buzzer out in my RX-7 when I had it, didn't have one after a while. In my RX-8 for regular driving it would be 4000-5000 but smooth shift not floored accelerator. When I decide to GO! I GO! 3 Beeps min! ok, 3rd beep if on the highway since that would put you at, what is it Shambles? 155km/h?

A light foot and shifts at no more the 3-4K are in order until that puppy is fully warmed up. Once it is warmed up, go wild . . .

DUDE, that was a joke...
No one here ever drove the RX-8 in IDv.3?

Anyways, for anyone who actually gets it..
Here's my hotstart shift:
