Sportshift shifting & rpm range

I've searched and couldn't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated. Is there a specific rpm range to change each gear into?

Depends on what your driving habits are. Normal would be 2k-3k for fuel economy. Moderate to aggressive your 4k-5k up to redline. Computer and clutch life will decide how far you can go.

Ok. Thanks. I'm usually normal but sometimes aggressive. Probably the norm for a daily driver.

I found it much easier to hear and feel the shift points in my past V8 vantages (SportShift's) then the V12S's I've had as the V12 power is really linear so it's much harder without looking at the tach.

you drive it like a manual... that's what it is... you shift without clutch pedal, but still shift nonetheless.

roll your foot off the gas slightly as you shift. I try to keep the RPMs in the torque sweet spot.

Good advice from the guys...but they left out the greatest fun thing... Once you get the car moving and get into the 5000 rpm range..
You can upshift without lifting off the gas peddle...
The car is actually programed for this feature.
