Just curious on everyone's driving habits. With stock or different gears, what RPMs do you shift your gears? I keep mine personally around 2 grand and maybe upwards of 3 on spirited driving. Very rarely do I take it to the limit.

Most of my shifts happen between 3-3500, sometimes 4K. I just enjoy the noise it makes. Cop around? Never more than 3K. If I'm trying to prove that I'm a bigger asshole than the guy next to me, it goes to 55-5700.

I usually shift around 3000, but when I want to have some fun ill usually shift at 6500 or 7000. I will only shift this high though when the car if warm, if the car is cold I wont go above 2500

3000 for daily driving, having fun 6000 (I have a forged steel engine so it can take some extra abuse)

Pretty much what he said.
I have the 87 performance tune and JLT cai and the stock 3:55 with flowmaster american thunders out back which makes is sound so much better than stock.

Normal driving I shift between 2000-2500, when I want to have fun i take it to 5000-5500 (only when the engine is warm).

I do not powershift either...

Wow, I feel like I might be babying mine a little. Awesome feedback, guys.

i generally keep mine around 2k to keep it quiet. but when im having fun, which happens often, ill shift at 4000-5500.

[redriderjf87]

Usually about 3k, although probably because that how I'm used to driving the 4 cyl Mazda Ranger and shifting at 3k is pretty much a requirement there.

[Blackbeast98]

Cruising around bout 2500 when i get the itch 45-5k

[04KenneBellGT]

Normal driving anywhere from like 2200 -3500. If Im getting on it and cutting it lose ill go up to 5k but try not to ever go any higher than that

[newponyboy04]

normal driving 2-2,5k having fun it all depends if you know what i mean

[stinger26]

Usually around 3K, but if I'm not trying to disturb anyone, than around 2K

[Lackey'sGT]

Generally 2.5-3.0 with 3.73's like everyone else.

[kiliona]

2.5-3.5 depending on the road and such, but when i'm having fun and the engines warm i get very close to red-line.

Looking at this thread i now feel like i'm abusing my poor pony, good thing it's built ford tough x D

If you're really openning it up, why stop at 5 like most people are here?
