I usually stay between 2 and 3k in the city, 3-5 on the twistys. 5000 miles and I have yet to bring it up to 7k. Im so used to my last car that hated being spun up past 5k, takes time to adjust I guess.

Why???

still have under 200 miles on mine.. city shift 1500/2 sometimes 3 if i need to move a bit.. entering freeway under 4k... still a baby.. not yet:burnrubber:

2-3.5k in the city (i'd rev more but my aftermarket exhaust brings too much attention) and all hell breaks loose on the on-ramp and freeway.

Geeze, some of you people need to drive AE86s with the 4AGE. We love revs! What's the point of having this car if you never go over 4k? It's not quite like the 4AGE where it doesn't really wake up until 5k, but still, it wants to rev! I guess when I'm just normal driving I think I shift around 4k but really will take it whereever.

I finally got past the break-in period today (1000mi), so I decided to let loose a little and take her to the 5-6k range. Definitely fun and it pushed me even more to want an exhaust.

I cruise down low on the tach. I like it quiet but I also feel that I get some nice grunt down there when I need it. Basically taking advantage of that lower torque peak (before the dip)

I like my cars fast with my revs down low


I tapped, I talked, I conquered.

Never less than 2K, never higher than 7.4K.

Before break in, despite not really believing that theres a need to stay below 4k, i did it anyways, until 1000mi which i hit my 4th day of ownership lol

Since then i tend to stay around 3-5 city and around 2-2500 on slower highways (45mph)

Around 3-4. Decent fuel economy during the flat spot where the torque dips, but fun is just one downshift away :D

Usually shift around 3.5. I'll break the 1000 mile mark day after tomorrow, and I'm going to have to take it up to 7000, just because I can.

7k all the time!

In the auto I let the logic decide, but in the manual I instinctively follow pretty much the same logic. Much of it depends on the speed and topology. If it's flat and I'm not under acceleration then it's as low as it can be without lugging.
It's one of those intuitions you gain over years of driving and working on cars.
I really don't pay attention to the tach as much as I do feel and sound.
