When you guys are daily driving the celi, what do you guys shift at, cuz a lot of my friends w/ diff cars shift at super low RPM like 2k-3k, but if I shift at 2k, then the car will not have enough power in the next gear, so i was wondering what you guys shift at in Daily Driving.


Thanks

no more than 3000 rpm unless im going up a hill, no less than 2400 RPM unless im rolling down a hill.

depends. you'll get alot better gas mileage if you shift at ~3k for daily driving. if you want to go really fast, you can spin up to the redline...but your mpg will go down and you'll have to pay more attention to your shifts.

i tend to agree that i rarely get past 3k, just to keep the mpg friendly and not draw too much attention to myself.

3-4k for daily driving
4-5k for spirited driving
redline for racing.

Redline all the time. My car doesnt know what it feels like to shift below it.

Norm 4k as it sounds nicer higher up the revs

x2

i do 3k anymore and it sound like your trying to race everyone and there mother witch is kinda funny when someones mother is trying to race u lol (never happen lol )

I shift normally at 3k. But sometimes I end up shifting right below 4k when i'm unaware of it. And most times, especially at stop lights, I rev it to 7k or more

3800 right before the wastegate opens, 8500 if im feeling the itch for boost.
Redline is a suggestion.

REDLINE =]

i usualy shift at 3k unless im getting on the freeway then its usualy 4kish though sometimes i like to red line it

1st-3rd Gear ~4k RPM
4th & 5th Gear ~3k RPM
^^Daily

Redline for racing..

2~3K Normal
~4K Push

how fast can you go in 2nd gear when you redline in an st

i tend to accelerate pretty fast so i shift around 3500-4000 rpm during 1st to 3rd gear. but once i hit the speed limit i slow it down and shift around 3000. from a stop, i can't shift below 3000 cuz its too slow. one reason why i'm hesitant to upgrade my exhaust is cuz i already rev somewhat high and don't wanna draw too much attention to myself. and i don't usually shift at redline cuz the st's can't pull very well after about 4500 rpm.

all depends what i am doing really,

general every day, driving like miss daisy (fuel consumption is the name of the game) - 3kish
out with the mates on a propper blast: 5 - 6k

have to b careful there though, as my racing ECU has no fuel cut and it will rev past the redline...not good to be honest,

<3000 if car isn't warmed up
2600-3600 daily
3600-5000 spirited

Never above 2000 on a cold engine.

Usually around 3000-4000 daily driving.

5000-7000 spirited driving

And about 9000 rpm when racing.

The car runs great above 1000 rpm though, so in 2nd gear just crawling around in town I can drive between 800 and 1200 rpms. idle on a warn engine is 500 rpms. You just have to love the rotary
