Hey all. I have to say two things:
1) THIS SITE IS AWESOME
2) FOCII ARE AWESOME [
]
This is a really stupid question, but I hope you guys can help me out.
I have had my focus for 2 days now... I have never owned a small manual-shift car before (always chev pickups on a farm) lol.
I have a 2001 ZX3 w/ Zetec & the 5 speed manual.
Anyway, for normal, "don't put stress on the engine" driving, what are good shifting RPM's?
What RPM is "too high" for "nice" driving?
What is too low?
THEN,
If I do feel like being a moron around town late at night, what can I safely push the car too?
What are safe numbers without redlining it too badly?
Thanks all!!
