Aggressive and Daily driving. Options

[The_Argon]

How do you drive daily and how do you drive when you drive aggressive?

eg. what rpm do you get to before shifting, and general style of driving.

also how often would you drive 'aggressively'


Daily Driving: I usually try and keep the car between 2k-3k rpm, usually shifting up at 3k and shifting down when it hits 2k. I am for smooth gear shifts and smooth, easy braking.

Aggressive: usually shift up between 3.5k and 4.5k rpm sometimes getting up to 5k changing gears as quick as I can and breaking late and harder that usual.

I don't drive aggressively too often, usually when I am mad at someone or if someone cut me off etc.

With Passengers: shift at 3-3.5k, at most 80% throttle

Alone: shift at 4-4.5k, around 90-100% throttle heel/toe(actually, the side of the foot/toe, but same thing really)

Having fun/aggressive: 6-6.2k, WOT, heel/toe

I don't really care if my engine starts to give. It's got 185,000 miles on it, and I'm already planning a replacement for it either this winter or next spring(3SGTE, finally decided I wouldn't be happy with the 4AGZE for long). It gets Castrol Syntec 5W-30 and a new K&N oil filter every 3000, plus tune-ups and new parts as needed(plugs, wires and such, anything major and it will just get a new engine).
