I don't know. I haven't even owned my car for One month yet. But from what I've learned so far it likes high revs off the line. I'm staring to find that a clutch drop at 6000 rpm's with lighting fast shifts at 8300 rpm every gear seem to work quite well. And when I say

If you did that you would never hit a 13.99. This motor stops making power after 8300 rpm. Shifting any higher would only result in wasted time and a slower
