I haven't read every post, but the 5AT does not upshift in manual mode, it will keep bouncing off the rev limiter. I drag race my Z and know it will do 100+ in 3rd gear as that is what I was turning in the 1/4 still in 3rd. I do burnouts in 1st gear and thank God it doesn't shift by itself. My 5AT is stock and shifts quickly enough to break the tires loose in 2nd and 3rd gear.

The 5AT and just about all tiptronic style transmissions should be shifted at constant or accelerating throttle. It doesn't need you to help it shift, you'll just cause driver error. Just tell it when to shift and let it do it's thing.
For racing, follow Fowlman's suggestion.
