max revs? 7k

max speed as fast as you wish to go

gear changes on daily drive between 2-3000 imo

Honestly the 180 loves to rev. Enjoy it

All of my ZS's lived on the redline, I acheived 165mph in the old supercharged one. just enjoy the car.

I never go over 3.5K until the engine is at running temperature. After that, the KV6 loves to rev. I regularly run my current KV6 powered vehicle, a Freelander up to the 6500 Rpm red line. The KV6 is a sweet engine!!

Fred has hit the nail on the head, you can drive the car however you want so long as you let it get up to temp, minimum 5 mins of not going over 3 to 4k max and no full throttle, then you can go to 7 without problems. The v6 is known as a reliable unit so don't worry. I had a tf160 in the past, used to go to the red line every day and no hgf as it was always allowed to heat up.
