go drive someone's ap1. It is totally different with the extra 1000rpm. I felt like I was waiting an eternity to get to 9k lol. I bet an ap1 driver would feel like 8k is way too early

Driving normally I shift at about 3k to keep the noise of my invidia down.

I just realized in all the years I've owned my car I dont think I ever used 6th gear.I dont take long drives so there really isn't any need to.

Redline in 1st when traffic permits. No wonder I get such lousy gas mileage, I usually don't shift until 5K at least (most of the time).
