Is it worse to drive @ 6k rpm in 1/2 gear then 3/4 gear?

 

Search and there is no way you have an 8 if you are asking a question like!!

 

Why? I this is my first car in this prformance grade. I was just making sure is all. Did a search and no results.

 

There is no "bad" - unless you blow by the redline w/o shifting. In any vehicle.

 

whats a Shinka Convertible ?

 

K then I will continue to drive in 1st around towm. Thanks guys!



(j/j but good to know. Being carefull and asking never hurts anyone.

 

haha
ive heard a wise man say: everytime you shift before 7k, a renesis somewhere is crying. or something of that nature.

 

A shinka convertible is a rx8 convertable. And ya I know about the high revs, but wasnt sure if that was ok for 1st gear.

 

Make sure your engine is properly warmed up before you do this though....aka, temp meter is halfway.....otherwise, say bye-bye to your apex seals!!!

 

um, I think I speak for speak for hitman when I say the confusion was not the word "convertible", but the fact that you use it to describe a (Shinka) rx8.

 

I do not use the word "convertable" to describe the rx8. I use that word to describe MY shinka rx8.

 

I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about, but I like it. Keep up the good work.

Step 1 - Rev it until it beeps.
Step 2 - Shift.
Step 3 - See Step 1.

 

Ok... think of a convertable mustang, bmw.... now apply that imagry to my shinka. There you go. flog cleared up.

 

So your 8 looks like a fat *** torque monger that can't handle a turn? j/k

But I still have no clue what you mean.

 

So you have the first convertable RX, that nobody knows about? Interesting...

Just because you can drive around in first doesn't mean you should. Second gear is your friend.

 

Reverse? Not that anyone would



I used to drive my Z like that between speedbumps(not reverse)

 

dont u think driving around at 6k rpm @ 1st is a bit uncomfortable... i would think 2nd and up would be better....

 

Why's that? Considering the Renesis could easily handle 10k RPMs.

 

worse in what way? you have not given us the metric to judge by? worse for engine wear? worse for engine longevity? worse for tranny wear? worse for mpg? worse for operating temp?

by what standard are we to answer? explain the convertible stuff please. and dont be obtuse about it.

 

I would love to see a picture of this so called convertible shinka if it does exist.

 

Ya I dont realy drive in first, i was joking. I do drive in second most often around town and 3rd on the Highway when i need to move.

Secondly... no It does not look like a fat a** torque monger. And i never said I actualy had a convertable, i just describe my car like one . I also decribe my cars top speed as the rate of acceleration of Earth's gravity, or 9.8m/s/s.

 

:P

 

ya thats it, but mine is red.

 

I modified my shinka to be green and have a cloaking device that makes it Black Chery Mica

 

sigh you got the really rare one is your top dessert color?
