Shifting on a manual

DemonJester · 01-15-2013, 06:43 PM

Disclaimer: I am new here as well as to the Z cars (I have yet to test drive one yet due to weather conditions) but..

Perhaps I am just used to power shifting manuals in the past but I certainly hope you guys are kidding about shifting at 2k for every gear, no disrespect but I might as well get out and run because I would be faster.

I guess I just need to test drive one and see if this is really my next car that I hope it was.

Dead on, man. OP, the power's up high. Wind the motor out. Sure, you can shift at 3k if you're just commuting to work, but if you're driving spiritedly use all of the tach. Nothing bad happens if you hit redline.

I’m breaking in my transmission like a young eager whore. Ruff! Mid to high rpm before shifting this car likes for you to give it gas.
