Fucken A. Daily i usually take my car up to about 4,500, i like to let the rev's clime oh so slowy to about 3,500, then just rip on it, sets you back pretty nice. After that i just bring it up to a little more than 6,000 all the way til' the top of third. I do this daily, Mostly, to impress girls in civics.
Just wanna say shifting @ 4-5K >> shifting @ 3K

Hell Yeah! I love ripping it up in my "eta"!!!
I keep the revs climbing all the way up to 2750rpm! And when my engine starts whineing like my last girlfriend, and the exhaust starts spluttering like my old dog before we put him down... in goes the clutch and I slam her into 3rd!

you guys are crazy i shift at like 2.5k in my eta. once in a GREAT while I wind it out to 5, but only when I need to go somewhere
but in the touring i get awful mileage cause I'm always revving it out. the real power doesnt start until 3.5k anyway, and i love the sound of the supersprint.
i can't wait until I bring it back out in spring, stroker with a smooth powerband. mmmm best of both worldsOriginally posted by bluntcan you get me a deal on cases of their (fiji) bottled water? i wash my 02 in that shitComment

Well, I've shifted at high RPMs and even redlined it several times before, I not with any regularity. Doing it once in a while is nice and all, but when you ONLY shift at 4-5K, that's something else!Originally posted by FJ40Congratulations, however, I'm sorry it took you any time to realize that it is more fun to drive like that.
