Auto gear holding/ RPM question???

- OK, i know it ain't a manual, and you shouldn't shift auto's. But is it a bad thing to hold a gear? like if i am at a stop sign and put it into 1st (while stopped)and take off, and let the RPM's rise to about 4ish( or what is a safe RPM?) and let off the gas and let it back down and then get it on it slowly again. Is this a bad thing to do? cuz i kinda like letting the car be heard cuz i love the way the hooker sounds when you let off it and it backs down. i just got to show what i got to all these awsome Trans Am's around . gotta love a loud trans am.

- Another thing, what is a good high way rpm range? when i am on the highway i like to just keep it in D (drive). prolly like 3,000 RPM's rolleyes: ( not exactly sure). I like it cuz they car is a little louder, and it got a little more pull when i want it.
