^^^ yeah, and if you have a laptop in your car, you'll get WARNING: DANGER IN THE MANIFOLD. sorry, i just couldn't resist.

Careful, your driver side floor panel might drop out. And your gas pedal might fall off. Hopefully your getting on the highway with those shift points.

Into 2nd: 25
Into 3rd: 60
Into 4th: 90
Into 5th: not sure, too busy watching where I'm going.

well i really dont judge it at MPH, i usually judge it by the RPM's. I actually dont look at them i just get the feel for them but i usually shift at 2,200 RPM's. Except in 5ths gear i usually wait till about 2,500 RPM's (really high gear, isn't it). this is with stock gearing BTW (that actually might not make a difference)
oh yea.. when im going for max accelleration, i shift at redline

RE: At what MPH do you shift gears?
Wow everyone babys there car. I **** at usually 3500rpm. When im drving around town I usually never get out of 2nd. I usually keep it at 3000rpm at 40mph in 2nd. At about 45-50mph I shift into 3rd. When Im on the high way I keep it in 4th doing 80mph. I hate having an overdrive 5th. I would like to have it in 5th while im on the high way but its to sluggish for me at 80mph in 5th. I also shift at 2500rpm when my cars still cold.
