5th to 6th - 159 mph

But i couldn't wrap my head around the point of having to shift in 25-30mph increments (4-->5-->6). That just seems to make 6th gear pretty worthless imho. I'm not trying to argue, just explaining my thought process.

I pretty much ignore 4 and 5, 3rd to sixth for me. Hell, i hink i do away with 3rd too often as I think about it. Fawking traffic.
