No, no, no, no......LOL. I hit about 6600 one time, ... just before a 2 to 3 shift, not in first. And I didn't mean to.....I figure 6000 is high enough, and in first a lot lower than that.

I appreciate all the tire talk. I'll have to have a witness watch from the side of the road, but I'm sure spinning isn't it.

It's a bit like DanEC described above...things happen so fast, I can't get a feel for the upcoming 1-2 shift. Unless I shift at really low rpms, I mess it up miserably.

Keep in mind, I only street drive, and a roaring blast from a standing stop isn't common. You can't do it in town due to children, pets, police, etc., and stopping on the highway to do a run isn't a wise move either, 'cept for maybe early Sunday morning when you have a long straight stretch and little, if any, traffic. So, even after all these years, I havn't mastered it yet.
