What did you guys/gals set your up-shift indicator to after the break-in period?

The manual says for maximum engine speed set it to 6,600rpm and for maximum engine torque set to 4,800rpm and if you don't care set it to 7,200.

I set mine to 6,600 but I am interested to find out what everyone else set theirs to.

 

To give me some reaction time, I set it at 6200 rpm. Hand eye coordination is a little slower at 35 years old. I tried 6400 but hit the rev limiter a couple times.

 

I set 6000 because I often keep pulling after the red light. All it does is set the rpm where the red light starts flashing. For me, it's sort of a snooze alarm that I usually note as a reminder: "time to shift coming up soon".

 

I have mine at 6000 also. I kept hitting redline when power shifting out of first. 6000 seems to give me a little more margin for error.

And yes, the Z does have a rev-limiter... Mine kicks in at around 7300.

 

I set mine at 8000 the day I picked up the car and have never reset it

 

I see your MT Z did 0-60 in 6.5sec. Well I did mine in 6.3 no brake torque on my AT Z

 

6200

 

5000 until I get more comfortable with the car.

 

haha 6600, it flashes about 500 under the set limit, so I have a 500RPM window. when its solid, man i know Im too late.

as for the 6.5, what the hell were you doing? sleeping?

 

5800. I've noticed that I didn't pay enough attention to how fast the needle was moving, and I used to occasionally hit the limiter. Now that it's at 5800, I can just punch it and still have about the right time to hit max HP and/or torque.

 

Damn, I feel like a wuss. I've never taken mine off 4,000 RPM, since I always shift at 3500 RPM.

 

I have mine set for 6500, since it blinks 500 RPM b/4 6500 it gives me time to shift b/4 I hit the rev limiter.

 

Moved mine to 6200. With the 500rpm warning with the flashing red this works perfectly for me.

 

I set mine to 6500 after the 1200 mile break in period and that's where it sits.. 5002 miles in 4 months..

6000 because I'm older than ezchief and need more time though I've haven't hit it yet.

 

6100

 

I just glance at the tach.....and I am almost at the point where I can judge from engine noise when I am approaching 4k

 

Yeah, I find myself shifting without looking at the tach without shifting sometimes. It's not that hard, since after 4,000 RPM, the engine starts to get much louder.

 

i have mine set at pick torque. 4800.

edit......doesn't mean that i shift at that

 

Since I'm REALLY old, I've kept mine set at 4000.





Oh, Yah, I really like the red light!
