It does sound like you are hitting the rev limiter... But the rev limiter doesn't kick in until almost 7000 RPM... Now the FAT tach needle does make it a bit tougher to get a really accurate reading... and i believe the analog tach is probably off a bit anyways... but you really should NOT be hitting the rev limiter at only 6000 RPM.
I would say take it in and have the dealership check it out... but of course you only have a 325 miles on it so according to them you shouldn't be hitting 6000 RPM! LOL! BTW, i'm one of those guys that doesn't follow the user manual... I've basically followed the hard acceleration break in method for years... never a problem!
As for your situation... first things that come to mind...
1) Your tach is off. Given a speed and gear you can calculate what your RPMs should be.
2) Check your connections under the hood... make sure the plug for the MAF housing is plugged in good and the clip is locked. (The MAF is the sensor in the air intake tube right next to the air filter)
3) Possibly bad gas.... or defective/clogged fuel filter...
those are just a few things I could think of...
