I generally try to keep it no lower than ~1300 rpm unless slowing down. Even then, if I'm too lazy to shift, I'll accelerate very slowly (~5% throttle if that). Here in chicago it's all flatland so very easy to get away with this. Around 2K rpm is when I start to be more assertive with the throttle. No flooring until closer to 3K or higher.
Putting around town at any thing over 35 is usually 5th gear. 45+ is 6th gear. For reasons unknown, this car (370z/g37 6mt) is geared very short. 6Th gear is really more like a 5th gear. At 60 mph, engine is turning around 2500 rpm. Should be more like 1800-2K rpm. A 7th cog would be welcome.
