5k daily. Given the opportunity, I can't resist on-ramps, though.

Pretty sure whenever I've driven my Z it's hit at least 5k. Usually when sideways.

To hit 5000-5500 RPM on a high Rev engine is nothing!

redline every day... after the oil is warmed up of course. I'm nice to it until the oil is warmed, then I have fun. I change oil every 3000 miles since i'm on it all the time..

I rarely drive my Z these days. But when i do, the only thing i am missing is a helmet and jump suit. I do not baby my Z when i take her out of the car-coon i have her in. You do not have to red-line to make perfect power though anyway. A daily driver i can see being easier on the Z than i would be. The wranglers for that in my case.

6,500 - 7,000 whenever I drive it. Only place where I get to redline it often, is in Bear Mountain area. Usually around sunrise when the roads are desolate.

City traffic: about 3500 rpm
On ramps: 4000-4500 rpm

Every now and then I bounce it off the limiter, but not that often.

I get 17mpg as it is with 4.03 gearing. Gas is cali expensive and it's my daily driver.

Usually around 3,000-3,500. In the mornings when the car is super cold, i'm nice to it and shift around 2,500 (lmao) but when i'm not worried about gas I usually shift around 5,000 all day (on occasion)
