I've been reading about folks shifting at 1,500, 2,000, 2,500RPM so I decided to give it a shot for the sake of curiosity. FWIW, once the oil temp is up (not water temp), I usually shit between 5-6,000RPM, almost never dipping below 3K, so this was a very interesting experiment.
Shifting between 1.500-2,500RPM leaves the car with virtually no power to get out of its own way. Worse, the Evo feels like it struggles to maintain smooth operation, as its revs are barely above idle. Shifting that low left me as a rolling roadblock, creating a somewhat dangerous situation in the process. Really, I can't think of why one, temped to do the same, would own an Evo, outside of his poseur tendencies, and not opt for a vehicle better suited for this exercise.
