How often do you redline it & a story of newfound joy

[Topless]

Ummm, I guess I generally avoid redline (6500). Sometimes I will hover above 6k for a bit at the end of a long straight when I don't want to upshift just before a braking zone. My sweet spot is 4-6k and I tend to do all my performance driving there. I think max torque on my car is 4800 and it feels like it falls off a little above 6k so that is where I usually reach for another gear.
