Have a mc 06 and wondering what rpm people shift at for fuel efficiency and for acceleration

wimsaab · Jul 7th, 2007, 04:40 PM

for tourque 2000-4250 rpm
for horse power 6000 rpm
i like to use 2nd and 3th gear for best acceration.
3th gear is the best gear for acceration in 80-120km/hr....
and i like to use the 2nd gear for fun, put in hard to 6000 rpm....

for the best feeling in 1st gear, you have to wait unit 3000-3500 rpm and the kick down, it will pull u back to the seat like a honda vtec......

below 3 - 3,500 for economy. I like to go just above the peak power band so redline 6,100/6,200 will really get it going. Means you dont land yourself so far down the revs in the next gear...

on the manual R56 MC i tested drive a few days ago, between 2000 and 3000 rpm for torque and fuel economy
