usually 5th. But at times 4th gear depending on driving conditions (e.g. rush hour)

i have an AP1 amd if im going or cruising at 35mph i have it in 5th and the RPMs rest at 2400. i thought keeping the cruising around 2500 rpms is good. i might switch that then to 3k instead. haha the droe is massive at 3k is why :/

i own an ap1, and that is what i based my previous posts on (I mostly cruise 35 mph in 3rd because it doesnt feel like the car struggles as much)

I just drove my friends ap2 from the shop and it felt WAY more comfortable cruising at 35 mph in 4th than in my ap1. just my $0.02

I have an AP2, and for the most part at 35mph I will cruise in 4th. But, I'm also guilty of driving in 3rd a lot going 35mph. I never cruise above 4th at 35mph though.

At 35mph I’ll be in 3rd or 4th depending on conditions.



35 mph in 6th
