Shifting past 3k causes a lot of jerking/rocking motion with gears going in significantly rougher and forceful.

? Not my experience at all.

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'.
