    How's your accelaration going 45mph and in 5th gear. I think RPM's are just below 2K. Going up a hill, do you need to downshift or will it move on up.

    TIA

    usually, if I'm under 2k it'll make it in 5th, but I get really impatient and downshift... I think we all know there isn't much of a powerband below 2k on that motor...and I'm good with that. The S2k doesn't have much of a powerband below 4k, and I enjoy the change of pace...

    90% of our torque is present from 2200 - 5400 rpm. Sure it will move but I keep the car around 3000 rpm when power is needed.
