Do you think that people drive at redline or something?
You typically stay in 3rd or 4th gear, and shift accordingly.

Actually, they do drive at redline... and I drive at way higher RPMs than normal.

You can't see it in this video but at ACS you spend upwards of 15-25 seconds at redline in 5th gear in a stock car. 6th and you basically hit an aerodynamic brick wall.
