    5th gear redline down long hill in 25yr old m10 e30. Most horrifying experience in my life. Maxed at 125, but shook like I was doing 200 in a horse drawn carriage down a dirt road. Let off the gas & cleaned what was left of my trousers.

        I just rev it until she screams like the little whore she really is. When that scream is so much even you cannot take it, shift, rinse, repeat.

            When i don't feel like using shitloads of fuel i shift @ 2k. But a little redline action everyday is always nice

              I shift at ~2.8k during normal driving, 6.3-7k every time I take it out on a road where the speed limit is 49mph or more.

                No need to even have a tach in my car. Ive trained Biscus to bark at 7k. He has a finely tuned ear for the s14

                              I usually wait till my car is warmed up first, then whenever I pull from a stoplight I pull up to 5.5k (SETA Redline) in a nice crescendo so it makes the sweet music of SETA awesomeness.

                              Then I drive normal 30mpg ftw mofo
