Yup that*s why it shifts at like 5500 not redline if you*re flooring it. I hear reviewers calling that short shifting. It really isn*t. Mazda knows there is no point winding it out to redline and programmed the at accordingly.
Yep, and if the horsepower is there (250 is 250...) it doesn't matter for s*** what RPM it happens at. The thing is just fine and will do just as much as any other comparable vehicle with 250hp. Physics doesn't suddenly become irrelevant because the numbers on the tachometer are painted further. S2000 vs. Mustang GT acceleration times, 2004, are 2 perfect examples of HP/Weight = results regardless of rpm, torque, or any other mess. 370Z and Corvette C5 are other examples that are a bit less extreme.
