Need tips on maximizing each gear

I would like some tips on how to use the max of each gear..

lke from stop: 1-2 should use up to 60mph hiting 5500rpm or 6000rpm?

then 3rd gear should be used up until 105-110mph? around 6500rpm?



then from a roll especially on highways

if your going 65mph and someone wants to race should i slow down to 50mph or 45 to try getting into 2nd? or can i still use 3rd gear meaning whats the minimum mph 3rd should be in?

I need some tips...

If you can't figure that out you shouldn't bother racing.

to get the best performance try to get every last rev w/o hitting the limiter,(7200)

dont try to get into2nd gear above 60 mph, good spot for 2nd is around 45 mph

I've gotten a nice jump from 3rd gear when I was at 65 mph. It throws you back in your seat nicely.

or if you are going around 25-31 mph leave it in SS mode and it hit it!!!

Other then that, the sweet spots are like 45-70 and 85-110 IMO
