What is your regular and sport driving RPM for shifting?

[10/10ths]

....keep her above 3,000 RPM all the time.

When you first start her up, be gentle on the throttle and keep her below 4,000 RPM until the temperature hits 180.

Once she’s warmed up, shift her at 6,000 RPM all day long and enjoy life.

On the highway, these German cars are geared for the Autobahn, so you might not ever get into Fifth Gear.

Use the gear that keeps you around 3,000 RPM when cruising. If that’s Fourth Gear, then fine. Use Fifth when you are really driving at high speed.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the replies. Ya at first its un natural to keep her in that RPM range...but as I get used to the car.....I can see thats what she likes. I just took her for a spin......waaaaaa ....whaaaaaaaaaaa.........whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa its like an amusement ride!

For the 6 speed, basically entering a HWY in 2nd, go for it, shift to 3rd, go for it then it's 4th, 5th, 6th is just an exercise because I'll be doing 95 and have to start slowing down.

I'm a drive at 3000, upshift when I go under 3

Yes. I will go under 3 if going downhill; i.e. not lugging.
