How funny, didnt you just make a thread saying that you got smoke by a minivan because you dont rev your car over 4000 rpms.

RPM... lol, i thought i was being called out! Thats my intials... Nice thread title.6600 maybe 6700... mines red @ 6600, don't like to go past it without supporting mods (head work) because when you go past that point the drop in shift usually goes a little lower = lose

I think I may be the only one who hasn't redlined! I shift at 3500-4000, and don't generally go over that. I think maybe 5k is the highest I've hit....

Thats good, there is no rush, give it time for comfort - the car will teach you things. I have a lead foot tho

i also have a lead foot. my drivers ed instructor said i go to fast cause i always went like 5mph over the limit and when he asked why i simply responded "it runs in the family". he responded with i never herd that before. long story short i learned to drive from my mom who learned from her mom. my G-ma drives fast my mom drives fast my sister drives fast i drive faster, and my dad only drives fast when he is in the benz. so ur never on time when he is driving.

I have the limiter set around 6500, so I've taken it to there.I speed too much, today I almost got pulled over: I was stuck behind a truck so I pulled into the left lane onto the highway and passed him and right as I passed him, I looked to my left and saw a highway cop sitting outside of his car with his radar gun pointed down the road. If that truck wasn't there, I definitely would have been doing at least 80 and gotten my second ticket this month...

When you get a ticket take it to a lawyer. They always pay for themselves.

Whenever I am just driving fast I never go above 5500. If I were to race someone I would redline.
