that's just how i roll...

just curious in how to drive a manual...
such as how to drive it normal???
and how do you drive it fast all the time???
If you want to drag every where and beat the hell out of the engine then redline is good. I dont know why you would want to cruise in 4th gear.

I say redline it and stay in 3rd for the most power and speed. Then when it blows up we have one less Z killer on the road.
