haha..gas is a pain..ill be in 5th gear going about 25!! Although I hear gas should be dropping soon, but we've all heard that once before..

 

Shift late as you can in first, this is the greatest gap in our ratios. Then shift at 6000.

 

so at the track you shift first almost to redline then for there on you shift at 6000??? just wondering heading to the track tomarrow i been there before best i did was 13.5 at 100 i kno my trap speed can be better but i was going to redline in almost every gear i see you loose power by doing that correct??? Thanks Guys

 

doing 13.5 @100 you must be in an Evo. Evo's are a different story, since their power falls off more sharply as you approach redline, it might not be in your best interest to hit redline with every shift. What the best approach is, I don't know, since I'm not lucky enough to own an Evo (yet.) You might want to go ask around on the Evo forums though, I'm sure the guys there will help ya out.

 

Dont we all?

 

I don't shift at any particular RPM .... I'm from the old school, were I'm from we never had the chance to drive AUTO and we start driving went we are very young, like 13 this is on the street with regular traffic not like a walk in the park. I shift with my ear I feel the engine RPM the only problem is that with my hearing lost and my numb hand I blow 3 engines all ready LOL................
Normal driving 3000 to 4000 aggressive mode 6500 to 7000 .

 

ROFL AHAHAHAHA... you shift when you hear the engine spitting gas out the exhaust becuase its bouncing off the rev limiter...

what is wrong with my rpm guage

 

You should remember, the fuel injectors stop providing proper fuel, thus it is not spitting gas. Rather it is misfiring/running like ****. It sounds bad is all I know.

 

you guys not worried about your engine getting damaged?

 

I shift at 5500 for max power, I can chirp it going into 3rd and I have even done it in 4rth a few times but you have to shift it just right.

 

Exactly!

 

The limitter in my car ralliart dosen't kik to 7000 RPM so right before that I shift.
Is it diffrent and any one els car?
I will have to take you for a sping RALLIART on Planville - New Britain lakes .......
Hey if this story was true wy ? .... I had a SVT Focus and my A$$ , my gague was past the 130 mark it was acctualy on the SRS light for air bags, I had nothing left on my pedal and this UGLY car kep on getting close to a point were he past me , is this because of the 6 gear box the SVT has? my limiter never kik in wy? the ugly car gagues read 150 and he claim past me doing 145
You all know this was in a safe place on the track

 

Ciclon1, you need to work on your online articulation. Pretty much the only thing I gathered from your post was that you and a SVT Focus were doing 130+ on public roads

 

Maybe we should make a forum for broken English. Well... Then we'd loose half the board members.
