do u redline it?

just wondering when all of u who have manuals shift...i'm talking normal driving, as in 80% of the time on the road. i consider myself somewhat of a granny driver most of the time, i usually shift at or below 3 grand. unless i'm racing of course, or just feel like having a little fun, and feeling the throwback power of my gutted 3.8

I shift at 5500-5600 when I race and usually around 2000 when I am street driving, I have a 6 speed.

I usually shift at redline when racing but in regular street driving it usually stays below 3k. (A4)

about 3k when im just cruising around.

My camaro is still pretty new to be so I guess I am still just having fun but I shift out of 1st and 2nd around 4k-4.5k.  I just love the feeling of it.  But I have had it for 3 months now and I am starting to drive a little more normal.
 
IMO, these cars are designed to be driven hard.  If I wanted to drive like a b!tch, I would just drive my second car (purple Neon) lol.

ya when i race I go to 6200 but i have a few boltons that make it safier for me to do so but as everyone else has said in town about 3k in town i will do 40mph in forth gear and its not jerky or anything but ur car should have a rev limiter so if its stock ur car will tell if ur doing something wrong.

i shift any manual car at 3k-3.5k

mine isnt a 5 spd, but if it was i would shift somewhere around 2.5-3.5 normal daily driving.. Mine usually shifts around 3 grand or so depending on the situation in my A4.  The last 5 spd i drove didnt have a tach so i dont really know where it was at when i shifted, lol.. I'll have to drive my buddy's gt again sometime..

When I'm driving normally I usually shift around 2300 to 2500, at times with a bit more if I'm trying to get around someone or something.  When I'm on it I find my car responds best around 5500 or so.
