Where do you keep your revs?

[WolfsFang]

For normal driving I shift 3k-4k and keep it at 2k-3k, if im doing some sprint driving ill redline it

in 2nd i will go all the way to 7k rpm and change gear into third. Some times ill just be in 2nd around 4k rpm. I drive any car like how i rode my motorcycle. Super aggressive and like an asshole i guess haha.

I wouldn't call that being a asshole...just cause your reved up high doesn't mean your going fast. Like I said I was in 3rd today and all I was doing was cruising. That put me in 3-4.5k area....lol truth be told I be nervous driving around 5k all the time...a cop might think your speeding. Keeping it that high makes me feel like I'm in racecar

Usually wherever the auto tans puts it, which oddly enough seems to be a very close match to what you manual dudes do. It's my first AT, and I have no complaints. A gear change is just a touch away if needed. Even when being a hooligan, it rarely is in the wrong gear, and the rev-match does a better job than I can.

All the bitching about the "torque dip" is still comical. It's almost like it's a two-stroke motorcycle, where lines, cornering speed and energy management were more important the pure power.

Plenty of that around attention-whoring around, and "asshole" is just what people think. What purpose is served cruising through a college campus at 10 mph at 10k rpm other than to call attention to your micro-penis?

Redline right out of the drive way

yea i guess. Only reason why i drive with high revs is just to get away from all the traffic. I like being out in front of everybody so ill use the high revs to constantly pass people even if the light turns green. But i pass people with my turn signal so im a polite ass hole haha.

For around town driving I will down shift when I get down to 2,000 rpm's and I will upshift when I'm a little short of 3,000 rpm's. In 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear you aren't lugging if you keep it at or above 2,000 rpms.

[ScionFrsFan]

Might be a silly question but do you guys think the engine rather be revved or better to use the highest gear possible (without lugging the engine of course). I would assume there is more wear and tear but is it a day and night difference?

idk anything that goes 10k rpm at 10mph so i dont know what you mean. The only streets i drive aggressive on are the 35mph+ and thats where traffic flows around 45. So i usually drive around 55-60. Also idc about my e-peen i want people to hear me comming up when i ride my motorcycle. Not because i think im cool, it's a safety thing.

Ill drive this car like how i drove my STi for 3 years. With a heavy right foot. With 175k miles before i sold it full of autox, track days, and mountain roads the compression, and leakdown were still really good. I think cars that are meant to be driven should be driven very hard most of the time.

I agree with you. When I decided to play around and keep the revs up like this today I wasn't looking to seem cool...I was doing it for fun and to see what it be like. I might of been going 5 over the speed limit at the most today but I felt like I was moving lol. To sum it up, it was exciting using 3rd like 6 gear. haha

If not, I'll betcha your engine don't like that much ...

To the OP, for just driving around, I usually keep the revs around 3,000, give or take 500. If it looks like I want to "take off", I'll kick them up to 4000 to 4500.

Either my FR-S doesn't do the torque dip thing, or I just don't realize it ....

[Amir Ghadiri]

I just try to keep it as quiet as possible. 40+mph, I use my 6th. I don't want people thinking I'm an ass.

[forzajuve]

I keep mine between 2k - 4.5k typically
