Only time I'm at 4k rpms is when I'm merging onto the hwy and the ramp is short. I utilize the "secret turbo" of the Mirage; meaning put it in "Ds" and switch off the AC for a minute.
I love getting in and out of the Mirage, but loathe the seating position as the pedals are too close and the wheel too far. The only comfortable hand position on the wheel for me, is either at 7 or 5 o'clock and the wheel tilted down in its lowest position. I'm used to it now though but what I wouldn't give for our wheel to be telescopic.
