Do you take it to redline or shift with the powerband?

7th gen Celicas will do that to us. Even the GT has 140 hp, to our 130. The GT-S has 180, so there's no competition between our cars stock and a 7th gen. With a 5S, it's best to shift wherever you have to as long as it keeps the car in power. Shifting at redline just wastes gas and time.
