How is everyone shifting.
This is my first car with an f-1 shifter as I traditionally drove auto only.
Usually, around town, I will shift at around 3,500 rpms but lately, sometimes up around 5,000 range.
How would you guys, that have more f-1 experience, suggest I get the most out of the engine when driving more aggresively. Take it close to redline before each shift etc?
The other day i was on the freeway going about 70mph in 5th gear, downshifted twice and accelerated. Once I accelerated and the rpms aproached the 7,000 range, I shifted back up to a higher gear.
