in my opinion, for cruising 3grand shifts should be fine, it doesnt hurt the car to drive it like that.
1) It's an Mkiv Supra Turbo. If you maintain it and shift it properly, it's built to handle high performance driving. That's what makes the car so special!
2) Anything other than the shift points I posted is just half-@ssed semi-perrformance screwing around. Don't ask a serious question if that's all you want to do.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
