Let me say first of all that I’ve been driving cars and trucks with manual transmissions for over 60 years. And yes I’m old. However the recent purchase of a very low mileage ’25 GT is my first experience with a computer controlled engine mated to a manual transmission. In the old days engines would protest loudly when lugged by pinging, knocking, shuddering, etc. However this new to me V8 seems to be very happy from almost idle to redline. I try to keep the rpm above 1500 unless it’s on a perfectly level stretch of road. And even then I’ll drop down a gear or 2 depending on terrain or circumstances. So, do I need to worry? Keep the rpm‘s even higher than the 1500 minimum I’ve set?
