How high to rev before shifting in each gear?

370Z is a rough car to shift with. It takes a long time to get used to. But I believe shifting between 2.2k~2.5k is ideal for daily driving because the gear locks in a lot more smoother and it's easier to control without much rocking back and forth. Shifting past 3k causes a lot of jerking/rocking motion with gears going in significantly rougher and forceful.

Well... i just feel the touqe. If the car feels slow in a gear and speed that am in, i just shift down. If the car feels too roughf i just shift up and if am racing thats a whole other story.

This just points out the differences in how we drive a stick.

If you think the Z is boggin at 2.5K, then you downshift when you need the power.

I like running at lower rpms. They see me Rollin' They Hatin'.
