Default slow friday afternoon poll

What rpm's do you normally drive the car at:

city/highway

for me:
highway 2500-3200 rpm when cruising

city 3000 rpm so I have more torque closeby.

I dont like letting it dip below 2500 ever, because I lose torque, and I dont like waiting for it to "kick" in, especially in higher volume traffic situations.

Default I don't think so...it quiets down after the first 1k miles. I love it. Barely listen to the radio...

anymore. From why my friends have told me, on a flyby its sick. They all love it. I don't let anyone else drive my car, so I haven't heard it. Inside, everyone has commented that it sounds completely different.

I have no problem with S4 drivers driving my car.
