How do you shift your M6 SS
when just driving i shift 1 3 5 6 55 or over or 1 3 4 if in town 30mph How low rpm will you go. 1200rpm? if i'm running it i go thru them all. When ripping up a curvy back road should I just drive it as a 4 speed?
I think I should go to race driving school to learn how to drive this car the way it deserves.

Quit being a pu$$y

Driving normal putting around town, I hit every gear and shift at about 1,500 rpm. I'm in 6th gear by about 35 mph.

6th at 35 would be lugging it on mine. Why do so many use every gear. the car has plenty of torque to skip shift.

I usually use 1-4 in order n hit 5th when I get to about 45-50.. 6th is only used on the highway, I like to keep it fun.. This is why my mpg is closer to 12 haha I rarely skip unless being lazy

I hit every gear, shift around 2k RPM, run around the city in 3rd (45mph), and never use 6th anymore. The cam changed the whole shifting strategy. It will change further when I go to the 3.91 gears in the back.

Lately I have been using 1 - 3 - 5 - 6 combinations putting around... but straight through the gears when having fun

When I had my '10 more often than not I went 1 3 4. Skipping 2nd most of the time depending on traffic, if behind someone slow I would use second. Rarely ever hit 5th, with the majority of speed limits here between 35 and 40.
Carried over the habits to the Z, but I'm getting help for my problem. |
