What gear do you redline in for what? Do you mean just to burn out some carbon? Generally 3rd or 4th, longer redline, more engine load. The engine is working harder to accelerate in a high gear rather than 1st.

2nd on a regular basis, 1st and 2nd sometimes, and 3rd and 4rth rarely, because you're hitting 90+ at that time. Not that I haven't exceeded that several times but I'm trying to keep the points off my license.

1-4 daily. I assure you though that a t2 with full intake and exhuast can make it to redline in 5th. Not that I would know

I near redlined 5th once. But I'm ******' crazy. Maxed out the speedo, then backed off. I just had to know if the car could do 260kmph. It was damn close! The car felt extremely light at that speed..... It made me a bit nervous.
