Pretty sure that post was a joke lol, considering he shifts into 2nd gear at 9500 RPM.

no, i was serious. i have a rx8.. redline starts at 9k.. will rev to 9500 with no problems. i didnt say i do it ALL the time. and if u read above, i explained that in 6th gear im at 4500 rpm b/c i usually cruise at 80mph in the frwy, so the R's stay low
why is that so hard to understand? go drive a rotary and youll get it

Hey dude, chill out. You said NOTHING about a rotary in your first post in the thread, so I assume you were talking about the Z (considering the thread is about Zs). Then you assume I have no idea what you are talking about -- I drove a rotary (FC) for 5 years man. I believe you.

he would shift into reverse at that point... being the only gear left that would be the logical choice right?
