I drive a '97 2.5. I wil not rev the car above 4000 RPM's until fully warmed up. After hitting the 180 degree mark I rarely shift below 4000 RPM's. That's the power curve sweet spot on the engine. Power mangement is what makes the 2.5 a lot of fun. It's not a rocket, but it does deliver good performance if managed properly. Experiment a bit but respect the machine. IMHO!!
