i used to be just like you. i was worried about shifting at higher rpms. always shifted at 3g.
then i met some guys in the club who pretty much laughed at me for babying so much. they told me to start shifting at higher rpms and hot damn, that was some good advice. take it up to at least 4g it will be a whole new car. the only downside is more gas being used, if you are trying to save gas then keep the rpms somewhat the same.
what's the point of buying this car and only using 30% of its potential. enjoy it. i really can't thank those guys enough for opening my eyes.
