From another thread today on the same subject, the VVT means never needing to shift at redline.
Proved it out at Gainesville Dragway a few weeks ago. Fastest run of three was shifting at 6200, slowest was shifting at 7000.
If I felt like going out to the garage, I'd get the tickets.
Shifting at 6200 - 14.032 @99.98
Shifting at 7000 was about 14.6 and just over 97 mph.
2006 3.2 S

Don't forget that track situations often dictate driving at over the torque peak. For example, in the infield of Firebird here in Phoenix, it's better to keep the revs high (near 7K) than shifting up as you negotiate a series of tight turns, rather than shifting up and down. You'll run a faster lap time. Of course, if track time means the dragstrip, then what you're doing is the way to go.
