I know thats its a good idea to know when to change gear by watching the rev counter, but when your on the short and curlys it could get real nasty.

I just love the sound of my engine, i say get used to the engine then just listen for whens best to change. I find it fun, besides i have taken my ST to red line and its gotten limited the engine cut out and it made me tremble with fear!

This way its not about speed, or being worried about toasting your engine;

Its about driving pleasure!

I think top gear is 20mph per 1000rpm hence the 130mph top speed. Ive checked it with my car and it seems about right.
