sure about that? i thought most reverse gears were somewhere in between the 1st and 2nd gear ratios. i'm not terribly inclined to look it up but i'm pretty sure 1st is the lowest gear in the 8.

as far as normal driving goes, generally i start at about 1100 and am fully engaged at 1400-1500 rpm. one time i tried at 8000 and yeah..way too much =p
