Really? I thought from the spec sheet I read, the 6MT should have faster 0-60 than the 7AT. Anyway, I know I'm short-shifting by driving the way I described, but I don't want to rev it up too high in 1st gear as well.
Ok. Let's say when you stop at a light and you're the first car, now that you're starting from 1st, when (at what rpm) do you shift to 2nd?
When I "shift" slowly at 3k in every gear, I often find myself being "pushed" by some a-hole pickup from behind.
