I've driven stick for a while, but I always kept the RPMs low in my Ford Probe. Doing 35mph in 4th gear and such. After reading this and many other threads (inclding the one about the IMS bearing and keeping the RPMs up). Either I have been driving wrong or the Porsche is not a Ford Probe.

I know everyone drives different and different gears and different average speeds probably make this question useless, but I'll ask anyway. Where do you like to keep your RPMs when cruising? I'm under the impression that 1800 is too low and maybe just out of habit, 2800 feels to high.
