5000 RPM all the way..
I tried shifting at 3000.. in the ST.. it feels like I didn't even move.. So.. usually I shift around 4200-4700 daily. yes I get a crappy gas mileage.. |

When it comes to racing i shift at 5-5200K because anything after that feels like i lose power.  The power band just isnt broad enough right now. |

Normal: ~2500 rpms on dry roads in good weather conditions Normal: ~2800-3000 for spirited driving in good weather conditions Winter: ~2200 rpms after engine has warmed up Winter: ~1900-2000 in very icy conditions (and i drive like a grandma  )at these rpms, i can at least drive smoothly (little jerking) at various accelerations. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

So i guess normally everyone is saying about 3k or so, does that mean you stay in first for about 1/2 a second or so??? Cuz my first gear goes so quick then.

I used to shift right around 3000 or even under. I find that I actually save more gas shifting between 3000 and 4000
