I frequently double downshift accelerating off a ramp - 3rd gear is good for getting up to highway speeds quick.

In auto mode the car definitely isn't afraid to get above 7000RPM.

Peak power at the engine isn't what matters, its power in gear, and at redline you are always putting down more torque than at the same speed in the next gear.

I attached a PDF showing that around here somewhere...
