When do you shift
Ok very awkward post but who cares... Me and my friends argue about when to shift...
I shift at or around 2500-3000 rpm
My cousin shifts at 5000 rpm
My other cousin shifts right before the redline
Now I'm asking about normal driving.... When I wanna race I shift around 6500
What's your normal driving like????

There's no point in really red-ling since peak power on the 02-03 is at 5,800 rpm, 255hp. After that, the power starts dropping. I usually shift at 6,000 rpm when having a little fun. Less wear and tear on the engine too. For normal driving, I shift at around 3,000 give or take. its whatever you feel though.

At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference. I usually shift between 2k-3k rpm on a manual for normal driving (lots of hills here so it varies).
I know some people that will go all the way thru the rev-band for normal driving as well (an not stomping on the accelerator revving...partial throttle revving). Could it increase wear on their car...maybe, but that's not my problem.

I never comment, but the last sentence has to be one of the best I've read. Drive it like you stole it man, that's what I do even when I know I shouldn't.

POOR CARS.
WTF? What track are you on when you shift at these insane RPM's?
That's completely unnecessary shifting, wear and tear and fuel consumption. Even in my SS, my several Stangs and my C6, I never shifted like that.
To answer the question, I shift from 1st to 3rd, then to 5th and into to 6th if I can. ALWAYS under 2K. Fuel is $4.50+ a gallon here and I want to keep my car running for years to come.
