Redlining it

Just curious, but on my 01 z24 the tach shows a dotted red line at like 5800 rpm and goes solid at 6500... which one is the actual red line? would i be ok to shift at 6500? or should i at 5800? i have 75k miles on it so i know its broken in...

The dotted red line is like a warning area, the solid red line means exactly that, red line. I'm not sure what the EXACT red line is that GM lists for your car, though. It could be a hair different from your tach.

6500 RPM redline

between.. 6300-6500 it will kick in... nothing is ever set at exactley the point it should with GM

no its because its an analog guage which means its not instant results

well depends are you racing... then shift between 6000-6500 if normal driving shift about 3500-4000.

My cav isn't a manual... so i was just posting what i have heard over and over again from people.. yes you are right about the analog. I was being too general .... o well...
