Reply to "How should I be driving my engine?"

Thanks, of course, I'm a very conservative driver. my fast street driving days are over. I live 20 minutes from Sears Point, and when I feel the need to go fast I do an autocross or track day at Sears Point.

The Pantera I plan on keeping to drive, look good in, maybe punch it occasionally getting onto the freeway, but I pretty much drive like grandma most of the time.

I was just wondering when I'm normally driving, would it be better to just drive and shift the same as any other car, or since it's a race engine whether I should rev it higher between shifts/stay in a lower gear/keep the rpm's higher while cruising around.
