From what I understand, shifting at redline is not always the fastest. Obviously, 1st gear must be redlined but what about the other gears?

 

Try 6K rpm for all gears.

as close as you can get to red line and shift fast into next gear for 1 / 2 / 3...

 

6200 is pretty good

 

3 different answers...

 

in the manual, if you follow the mph shift times, your shifting at 2k every gear

 

Sorry about the confusion. I meant to ask for optimal shift points for the fastest acceleration!

 

I agree with Silver Bullit II & samw1978, about 6,000RPMS. It seems to me from 6K to redline there is not much more acceleration. (Sounds good, though )

 

shift at redline.... generally.

you dont have to quite get there, 6400 is fine, just go up there, but be SURE not to hit the rev limiter, getting right up to 6600 isnt that important. the Z has a lot of leeway in its power band.
