shift where comfortable for cruising, with redlines thrown in regularly (not frequently for your license's sake lol). Personally when im just going around town i dont think id bring 1st to 6500 but most of my cars are loud so thatd be why.

I typically shift at 3000-4000 or so during general driving and cruising. When I do go to 9000 though, it is an even larger contrast to the character of the motor, resulting in a better, richer experience.

Yeah about to say....Soon as it tells me too duh lol! Really though it depends, i'd say if I'm tired and just driving to drive I shift crazy low like 4,000, but car seems to sound better and act more lively when I drive it that way.

I LUV THE BUZZER!
The 1st to 2nd gear shift near or at redline SUCKS! Luv the car and hate that tranny/shifter. Why is this thing so damn picky from 1 to 2? Tired of losing races every now and then.
