I decided to take the 3litre for a spin today after classes to relieve some stress. I first went to some backroads and cruised around for about 15 minutes, keeping it under 4500 until the oil got up to temp. I have no problem waiting for the oil to warm up, because it still makes plenty of power down low. After 15 minutes, i start taking it about 5500 and things are going great.
Tight backroads with "10-15mph" hairpins on smooth pavement. The only problem is there is very little run-off up here, so if you overcook one....you're...well....screwed.
Shifting at 5500 in 2nd and 3rd was still a tease. I waited another 10 minutes and then "vrrrrrrbbbbwwwwappp!" turning it 6800 where it's really pulling hard.
I ended up getting lost about 15 miles from school, which was fine by me. I love getting lost and exploring new roads. :)
I will try to get some videos of my car sometime.
