What are the best RPMs to shift at for the best 0-60? Please include the RPM rev to start from in 1st gear too. (I know this isn't a straight-line racing car, but I'm just curious.)

My buddy wanted to race his new Volt against my FR-S. I didn't pull ahead too much, and I'm wondering if I'm not shifting well, or if the torque of the Volt makes it an even match.

He also wants to race his 2004 Cadillac CTS, which on sixty to zero website says is about the same in time as the FR-S, but I don't know how accurate that website is. I think the Caddy has 220 or 240 hp, not sure of torque.
