That's good. You get extra credit if you did it without looking at or even thinking about looking at the tachometer in the dash or HUD. Fast near redline shifting is best done by sound and feel rather than "the numbers".

I'm gonna up the ante to 6600 with the no look extra credit... Pic in avatar is from a short, otherwise unremarkable video. The 6600 rpm freeze frame is from the 2-3 shift, the rev limiter was not touched, and view of the tach was totally blocked by the camera...
