The funny thing is that for all this talk of "just keep it spun up," the car actually makes a lot of its peak torque output at low revs. It's true that you have to wring it out to accelerate at all quickly, but its more a matter of holding gears than getting into some high-end powerband if you ask me. It's not like a Lotus or Honda where you hit a second cam up there and suddenly the car just takes off.

But yeah, as others have said, it's kind of fun just screaming around near redline with your foot perpetually on the floor
