  • For those who daily drive their F-bodies....

    I'm curious what RPM people shift at when you are just daily driving and not thinking about it. Please tell which engine and transmission you have. Most of the time I let my 3.8 A4 shift at 2500RPMs just about everytime (unless I need to step on it for whatever reason ;) ).

    I had a friend who when he first got his RSX, for about the first 2 years he had it would redline it at every shift. It was interesting riding with him...ha ha :cool:

      heh, I just let my automatic do whatever it whants. pretty much why its my daily, I'm lazy I hate city traffic and i dont have to shift it.

      I notice it gets to 4th gear pretty damn fast with some low rpm shifting...
