On a circuit, I normally keep it between 4~6k

Well, on the freeway slicing and dicing, 4-6k rpm is around 70-100 mph, which is this cars sweet spot, for both speed and rpms, so yes, a little over the speed limit but not excessive.
If im just droning on the freeway, then yes I put it in 5th at about 70mph, but thats just for constant speed driving, if I want to accelerate, I shift down to 4th.
And on the track, I keep it around 4.5- 6.5k rpm, which is the max torque on the low end and max hp on the top end. I dont see the point of hitting the rev limiter in each gear, since the hp is already dropping off well before 7.2k rpm.
