There are no good reference points either so I think it is the most difficult turn on the track. The car was radar gunned going into 1 at 174 despite my slow exit from 9, shows how hard it accelerates above 100 mph.
Did you ever watch the DVD that came with some of the cars? I think it was Rick Titus narrating it. He got to the drivetrain (engine/trans) and in discussion the transmission said something like "6th gear is a working gear, you will accelerate in 6th just like any other. Oh, and if you do be sure to call me since it will be the only call you get from jail". I had mine to 160 and wasn't ready to go to 5th yet (according to the chart 4th is 170+ at the red line). 5th redline is 212-ish.
