This. Although I guess I'd probably average out to like a 7, because I drive like an 8.5-9 at the track and 5ish on the road. haha

after the oil is warm, I will thrash away for a good hour...sometimes two or four. just 2500 miles so far so trying to squeeze it between 3000rpm and 6 mostly in third.

I drive it like I stole it most of the time

My commute is all twisting country roads off the main highway with a few straights that allow some spirited driving. There is very little traffic, I run into (not literally) more deer, suicidal rabbits, livestock and farm equipment then cars on the road... but for some reason there are always cops around....go figure. It adds 10-15 mins to my commute (would be 30 mins if I just took the highway)...but with a car like this i don't mind leaving a bit early or getting home a bit late.

Voted 7 for occasional redlining and spirited driving. Its a fun car, so I drive it. Plus dealer hooked me up with the 6yr/125k in place of the 3yr/36K so why not drive it like its supposed to be driven? XD

0 - Still has delivery mileage

1 - Driven around the block once a week or less.

2 - Shifting occurs at less than 2500 RPM for up & downshifts; no rev-matching, no spirited drives.

3 - Recommended Break-In Period Driving, max 3,999 RPM, including downshifts if any. 9.5/10 shifts between 2000-3000. No-spirited drives.

4 - 9/10 Shifts between 2000-3000 RPM, max 5000 RPM; occasional hard pull onto freeway or to overtake. No spirited drives, heel-toe or rev-matched downshifts.

5 - Commuting RPM ranges between 2000-3500, max 5500 RPM. Occasionally cruises 3rd or 4th gear at 3000 RPM in city or curvy backroads. Sometimes takes a corner hard.

6 - Commuting RPM ranges between 2000-4000 RPM, max 6000 RPM. Occasional rev-matched & heel-toe downshifts, takes most turns hard, 1 or 2 spirited drives on twisties cruising in 3500-4500 RPM a month, no redline, no track time.

7- Commuting RPM ranges between 2000-5000 RPM, mentally maxed 6500 RPM, rarely redline. Rev-matches or heel-toes most downshifts. Spirited RPM ranges 3000-6000 RPM, max 7400 RPM. Has been to a track before.

8- Commuting RPM ranges between 2000-6000 RPM, occasional redline. Downshifts into 4500-6000 RPM occasionally. Always takes corners as hard as legally possible. Spirited RPMs mostly cruising 4000-5000 RPM and hits redline on the straights or out a tight hairpin. Sees moderate amount of track time, and the car modifications show it.

9- Commuting RPM ranges full RPM-range for both upshifts & downshifts. Spirited drives ranges full RPM-Range mostly cruising between 5000-7000 RPM. Car modifications may show extensive time at the track, unless you're on a budget or keeping it subtle.

10 - Fully-committed track car, occasional daily commuting if needed.
