Because by stressing your engine and wasting gas, you get to go faster... and have more fun... :P

I just shift when it sounds like the engine is making more noise than power... my tach is a really funky digital one, so I just shift by sound...

Last night I did find out that I was shifting from 4th to 5th way too soon... I was shifting into 5th when my speedo topped out (85mph), I looked at the tach and realized i still had another 1k or so rpms before the redline
