Shift at 2-2.5k rpm

I don't understand you guys that say shift below 4k. Seriously, wtf?
If we're talking dry conditions, shouldn't you be getting her up to 6k, enjoying her, and then shifting at 9k?

lol some of you guys are over analyzing it a bit. Unless the car is either in its warm up stage or Im planning to redline it, Ive never really needed to look at the tach too much. Mainly shift according to speed and feel of the engine. So typically, Im around 3-5k.

I thought shifting that low caused lugging which caused your bearings to go out... Not sure though. I just shift when it feels right, around 3-4k.
Probably better to save your engine and not piss people off by shifting low, I could be wrong though.

Dont look at the RPM, just a habit from riding my motorcycle I guess. But I did look just to see when I do shift and it ranges anywhere from 3.5 to 5K depending on conditions I guess.

i always give dirty looks to people who pull up close when sitting at a light tho.
at a stop light and have SUV headlights seemingly a foot
from the back of my head!
I get motorcycle riders doing that same crap as well...
and God forbid you get close to the rear tire of a
motorcyclist at a stoplight..I guess there's a
double-standard!
