The weather cleared up a bit, and I was able to sneak the E500 out for a little exercise. It looks like I need to eat a little humble pie. I was wrong about the upshift RPM's. It's not 6400. After watching a video of a WOT run, I went frame-by-frame to try and determine the exact shift point. From what I can tell, my shift points are - approximately:
1-2: 6200-6300rpm
2-3: 6300-6400rpm
3-4: 6000-6100rpm

BTW, this run was with 3/4 tank of fuel on a level road, 32°F ambient temp, 2400' elevation. I was pretty happy with the 25-second time from 0-130, too (measured via AP-22 performance computer). Average uncorrected times (over two runs) were:
0-60: 5.85 sec
0-100: 13.85 sec
0-130: 24.90 sec
And that was with a little wheelspin & ASR engagement at launch, at 2400'. With LSD at sea level, and/or with 15 fewer gallons in the tank, it should be even quicker.
