I have my rpm's set on 4900, that's the highest I'll go.. just to be safe.
Oh & is it normal when downshifting to rev the engine a little as I put it in a lower gear? No idea why I do this, no one told me to do it.. just seems like it's less stress on the engine

redlining the Z is like a right of passage way ... just like becoming a man if you're a boy ... so in theory ... if you don't redline the Z ... you're not a real man ...
lol jk. but really, after reading all these posts, i'm surprised you still haven't made a post saying "i just redlined it, now i'm speechless, let's do it again".
