Hi, I'm new to the group. My 2002 gt has all of 500 miles on it. I guess I'm sort of babying it with the shifting. If I remember red line is about 5.5k rpm. I'm shifting at around 3000 rpm. My question is this, is it l hard on the car to run the rpm up to the 5000 before shifting? Obviously I want to have fun but I don't want to abuse my new baby either. 5000 SOUNDS high but I don't know.
Thanks
Ken
