For daily driving, I shift around 3000 RPM on my 98 CSVT. If I'm taking it easy, which I try to do sometimes for better gas mileage, I'll shift a little lower, around 2500. When I'm showing off, I shift around 5500... if I remember correctly, I think the horsepower maxes out at 5400 according to the user manual, and my car is mostly stock. I was showing off just yesterday for someone who hadn't ridden in my car and I was shifting closer to 6500 because I was going up a hill. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the car, or maybe it was just the hill, but I definitely wasn't accelerating as fast as I knew I could for some reason.
