High Powered
Is it better on the engine of a high powered sports car for high rpms?
Heres the question, I own a 1987 Toyota Supra, the car has a 3.0 v-6 24 valve overhead cam engine, very quick car, the person who I bought the car from told me when i am driving the car in town (the car is manual) to keep the car in second gear. Second gear will do up to 30mp, at that point I am just about to 3,000 RPM's, I always thought that normal around town driving you put the car in 3rd gear on a stick shift.
Also when I get up to 70mph in 5th gear(overdrive) the car is at 3,000 RPM's, is it better to run a high powered sports car at higher RPM's then a normal everyday car?
run it so you have enough power to stay at the current speed. Stay between 2-4k on your car is good for cruising. You don't want to go too low of an rpm otherwise you'll put stress on certain parts trying to accelerate( ie 5th gear at 5mph) If it is turbo i would stay off boost to conserve gas. You don't need high rpm's if you are not using them it just adds to added wear and gas, bottom line.
