Question When do U shift, using Sportronic shifter?

I have a 2006 Mazda 3s 2.3. the 5 speed with sportronic shifter or whatever u call it. I neva drive with the automatic on. i had my car for over a year now. ive always wanted a stick so this is the closet ive been. I love the way my car drives and handles in stock mode. I can just imagine when i start modding how its gonna be. Question is: when do u shift? please state gear and how many rpms till u shifted. Reason being to find the best take off rpms get maximum torque from stock. there's been quite a few times dat when i shifted up, it felt like there was a turbo or somethn in there and i was moving forward so fast it was scary. Im thinkn i must've hit da sweet spot for dat gear or car. perfect shift..lol really though, im Amazed at how on da streets, my car be dustn cars people normally think would get me. Dont get me wrong, I have been burnt on da road 2, cuz i shifted to late.....lol I Love My Mazda 3. People are sleeping on our cars' and i havent even modded yet. The Xenon Store.com has all the Hot Lighting accessories which im bout to get..like the Angel Eyes and LED's(Taillight n third brake light) gimme ur feedback

I'm confused. Is this a joke thread?

I'll play it safe and assume it's not.

Leave it in automatic mode...it'll be much faster. I promise.

p.s. No your car doesn't feel like it has a turbo on it. If you'd like to feel what a turbo car feels like let me know and I'll get my pinto out of storage.
