For daily driving? Aggressive driving? Racing?
Any rituals you have shifting between gears? Do it a certain way?
Im just curious on how you guys ride her :-)

3.5-3.7k daily driving
4.3-4.5k aggressive
6.5k shift from 3rd into 4th then redline it when racing
We will worry about that once we pass 380 trq.
I miss shifted from 4th gear redline to 3rd gear super ultra redline (instead of 5th) multiple times when getting used to the AMS shift knob. + I sit real close on preference.
Nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

You're going to blow something up taking it up to high being a turbo'd car.

1st-4th gear around 2.5-3k 4th-5th at 3.5k-4k on a daily drive pretty high on the 4th to 5th because of the stories i've seen posted about the 5th gear cruising, and i do seem to bog down a little when i shift any lower than 3.5 on 4th to 5th...

not sure i believe the turbo's are not for high reving cars bs.. that sounds like a statment for a supercharger.. not a turbo.
gtr's rev to 7200ish our cars rev to 7490 (2011mr) acording to my cobb AP logs. and the fact that changing a few internals cause our engines to go to 8500rpm with no dire effects.
anyways with a stock turbo.. you'll see that the torque will drop around 5k rpm acording to most of the dyno charts on here. but you'll also see that HP doesn't drop till 6700ish.. it's torque that gets ya going but we all know that there is a relationship between torque and hp.
for instance.. you could drive a v twin in the city and kill any street bike light to light..(one city block 230-250 ft) but as soon as the street bike gets up in to the rpm's say 2 to 3 city blocks, it'll demolish the v twin.. torque vs rpm is a strange relationship..
