Alot of times when I downshift one gear like from 6 to 5 I don't get the power I want to really pass someone or to just feel that power but other than getting on it too much I'm a little tentative with this thing so I'm afriad to just downshift two gears. But when I do get that power wow this thing packs a punch and I'm surprized at how much more power this has than my 98 v6 firebird that I just upgraded from. I still like my firebird and I thought it packed a good punch for a v6 but I am wowed by this camaro and I didn't expect as much of a difference. I'll be fine once I get used to it but any advice on the shifting?

It depends on if you're after fuel economy or you want the kick in the pants.
I rarely use 6th, unless I'm on I5 doing a long drive on cruise control.
