guys thanks for all the input, i really really appreciate it!
I have become much smoother at shifting up now. Also I have taken your advice on shifting at higher RPMs.
However, I do notice that the engine noise at a constant RPM higher than 2.5k, 3k is really unpleasant. its like not a roar or grunt or whatever, but sounds like whining and sounds like the engine is 'dragging down' and slowing down the car (constant throttle input). is this normal? I really like the sound of the engine going through the rpms, but when held at a higher constant RPM, it is supposed to sound weird right?
