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.

I try to drive non aggressively unless I have clear road
ahead of me but driving a GT4 seems to attract the worst in
others around me. Every traffic light brings some one
outta the woodwork who wants to challenge me or cut me up. Thats ok to begin with but it gets pretty tiresome and
it kinda drags you down to their bad driving habits.

I'm gonna do a "Macaveley" here and pull out my toyota manual figures on max speeds not to exceed for each gear

3sgte - 1st (30mph max), 2nd (53mph), 3rd(82mph),
4th( 112mph)

3sge (add 3mph to above figures)
3SFE (same as 3sge except 3rd -86mph, 4th -110mph)

If your hitting any of these figures your driving "aggressively"
