Default at what RPM do you normally shift?
If you are driving normally(not racing) do you shift at 15mph 1st to 2nd, 25 2nd to 3rd ,40 3rd to 4th ,55 4th to 5th or do you shift by RPM'S and not pay att. to speed

Sometimes higher. I didn't buy the mustang to fetch groceries, or drive around like one of those oldguys in a vette.I rarely take it past 5k rpms though.
