Not trying to start a fight but...
On the 96+ ex's they have the same tranny as the z6 but a lower redline... In my ex I have to go to 7200 (even though it's loosing power after 6800 or so...) because it sets me into a MUCH better rpm range in the next gear...
I wouldn't be nearly as fast if I didn't run out EVERY gear... even then it doesn't drop me into vtec range in the next gear... so ideally I'd be shifting at like 8k but I don't risk going so much as a hair over the redline...
I've hit the revlimiter like one or two times...
Eventually I plan on upgrading the head/valvetrain so as it can rev a little higher...
