In Reply to: Wimp on RPM? Where do you shift? posted by Greg K. on September 23, 2001 at 14:42:34:


OK, Ok, I've had my 2000 for almost a year now and I think I'm being a wimp on shift patterns. I've been comfortable at around 3000rpm for crusing and shift well before 4000.

The last couple of days I've been driving it harder with shifts up around 5000. It's more fun but I really don't know what I'm doing even after 21000 miles.

Is shifting a 5000 too hard?
Is crusising at 3000-3500 soft? I mean, at 60mph which gear would you usually be in? What about 80?

At what speed do you go to 6th?

thx
