start driving car a bit more vigorously not racing just letting it go occasionally

I have been shifting mostly between 3- 4k rpm's Have gone into 5k and felt more power
1st gear won't need too much higher than 3 k [ thats just my feel for it ]
2-5 would be more flexible rev wise
Dude, sorry to be insulting but you do know you bought a sports car? Don't drive it like grandpa (no offense, i'm a grandpa myself) but if I never wanted to go above 5k I would drive my wife's SUV.
There's also many threads that talk about IMS failure in cars that never get "driven" so you are not doing your engine any favors. Revving a car is not bad for it, don't slam the clutch and accelerate briskly and you and the car will be smiling.
