Edit: I'm at a 7 no track time yet

no answer will be the same. start at the reccomended interval and get a UOA done by blackstone. I have taken mine to 10k with canyon runs and autox on it and been good but i usually take it to about 8k

I do 5,000 km's and do UOA to see how its holding up. Here is a older UOA I happen to still have saved on my computer haha.

I'm 7. I think that's how this car should be driven for communing. Lol another thing is I don't use my brake much in city but just rev match & coast most of time.. Lol I think ppl behind me hates me, lots of them overtake me then get stop by traffic light while I rarely stops.

I just don't like letting my rpm drop below 3.5k. 😆

Yeah I love high compression NA motors for the response and engine braking you get with them. I do the same thing.... but still end up stopped at the lights lol

7 or 8 on off/on ramps. 4 in general everyday driving.

GoobyFRS · 03-01-2016, 10:40 PM

6.5. I like to get up and go a lot during the day. I sometimes redline when I go racing but never on purpose and that only happens on the weekend. But I will haul down curvy roads.

21.5 mpg

finch1750 · 03-01-2016, 11:05 PM

Yeah, I'm a seven. I tend to keep it at 6k max on backroads. While I don't track I do autox and will take it to the limiter if need be for a very short period of time. Though around town I usually leave it in AT so the RPMs tend to stay under 2k once up to speed. I do mash getting onto the freeway though (again 6k max).

That is pretty spot on minus the track part. Maybe edit to include autox on that one

What!? You only rev to 6k finch? My car only makes power once I hit 6krpm lmao. Have you noticed that if you shift in manual mode right at or ever slightly before the rev limter vs leaving it sport mode it's actually fast?
