Sidenote: people cruising at 3k rpm/70mph in 6th gear then trying to accelerate without downshifting are hitting the torque dip AND using an overdrive gear hence reviewers and people who test drive a car come back bUT tHe 86 iZ sO sLoWw!!1!

LMAOO.
I usually just shift around 2200-2500 so it rebounds me back somewhere near 1900 when im just putting around with it. Although, I'd usually put the car into upper gears sooner which I supposed "lugged" the engine and I didn't realize it was bad for it. Welp, lesson learned
Car feels fast enough for me though. I love it.
