ok, and while im having a blonde moment today (as many of you read), i did remember to ask this. what is a good launching rpm for normal everyday driving. it started snowing today, and i dont want to be spinning my tires this winter, so what is a good rpm? also, whats the right rpm for going 60 mph in 5th gear? mines at 3k...which seems high, but my gas miles is still pretty good. just wondering of thats correct, and what i can do about it if its not?

Driving in snow?
2nd gear, and gentle with the throttle. Full bore launch on a drag strip? 5 grand, sidestep the clutch and WOT. I need a new clutch, by the way.
