It has direct bearing on 'emergency situations' as you started your argument with. Now you're contradicting yourself.

I usually downshift at around 3k if I want it to sound neat (currently have short tails installed). Not usually above that because I don't really have a need to nor am I ever going that fast in my usual DD traffic. Usually only do 5>4 and 4>3 downshifts. Don't usually mess with 2nd and never 1st.

I can say, however, that I wish upshifts were as fast and crisp as the downshifts.

ChoopsZ is a total clown. Nobody here takes him serious. Don't even waste your time.

And there's no "set" rpm to downshift into. It all depends on the situation. Likewise for which gear you need to drop into. Just because you're in 5th gear doesn't exactly mean you have to or need to drop into 4th next. Sometimes, you have to go right into 3rd or maybe even 2nd straight from 5th (emergency situations). Try doing that with a lousy automatic transmission.

Again... Many years driving experience with a proper transmission.

so u didnt have enough cash to buy the sport trim, huh?
