What is your Shift light set to?

At what rpm are you guys shifting at while going down the track?

I've got a 2014 ss convertible and it short shifts in both automatic modes. Also, when I select manual mode regardless of whether it's competition or other, the rev limiter comes on very early around 5400 rpm. Do you have the same issue and is this something that needs to be addressed by the dealer?

Stock is 6250

I've been bumped and take it as close to 6500 as possible. Some other have been tuned even higher.

M6 btw

So higher past redline will let you run better times?

M6 also. I have mine set at 6200 but was considering turning it down to 6000. (Talking about my shift light.)

I've had better MPH shifting higher but it's been too hit to get good ET's.

Shifting at 6200ish netted 118-120mph, shifting at 6700ish netted consistent 125 mph passes.
