| Re: vRS.. Optimen rev's to change gear? Depends if you're a power person or a torque person. I would chose a shade of 4k rpm (where peak power is developed).... Chris

| Re: vRS.. Optimen rev's to change gear? a bit under 4000rpm perhaps, so that when you change up you are back into peak torque. I can't remember! |

| Re: vRS.. Optimen rev's to change gear? And at what revs to change if you want fastest acceleration? About 4200-4300? |

| Re: vRS.. Optimen rev's to change gear? Keep looking out rear view mirror. Change when black smoke starts to cause hazard to other motorists...

| Re: vRS.. Optimen rev's to change gear? I only notice smoke when low down (1500-1800) and never higher up in the rev range (1800-4000) i'd say 4k too
