Shifting with Autostick

[crazie.eddie]

I have an '04 GT with Autostick. I want to maximize the shifting with the autostick. I used to drive a stick back in highschool, which was a long time ago To get the maximum performance, I would normally shift up when I can feel the car is not gaining any more speed (not redlining of course). Should I follow the same principle with my '04 GT? If not, what speed or RPMS should I shift to 2nd? To 3rd? To 4th?

Under normal driving situations shift when it feels right, just like you did in the old days with your stick. If you want top performance off the line, pedal-to-the-metal (as they say) in first gear and let the car do the shifting at each gears red line.
