Shelby-Don Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Anyone else get a laugh at the recommended shift points (for best fuel economy) mention in the owners manual. 1 - 2 11 MPH 2 - 3 19 MPH 3 - 4 30 MPH 4 - 5 40 MPH I unserstand this is supposed to be for the best fuel economy but come on this is supposed to be a sports car and shifting at those speeds you wouldn't be able to enjoy the full effects of the exhaust sound.

stump_breaker Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 1st-5900 2nd-6150 3rd- (back it down to the speed limit) 4th- (see 3rd gear information) 5th- Interstate with cruise control @ 62 MPH B) :D :P So is setting the cruise at 62 on the Interstate supposed to make up for all the gas used getting to that point? Just how far must you drive to offset the 5 gallons of gas used going from 1st to 3rd? :D :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to go side ways when I speed shift, ofcourse that is when I have the traction control off. I think I am going to love the 373's more than I thought I would, ah what fun!
