I am not a expert on that but when the OP stated WOT in 6 & 7th he has to be at low RPM's do the motor is struggling to hit its load targets I would assume. I mean doing a 5th gear pull to redline is in the upper 150's...

Re-post from 2015 to get an idea but we all know the car cant go that fast.....

DCT @ 7600rpm
1st = 35mph
2nd = 65mph
3rd = 99mph
4th = 132mph
5th=168mph (167mph - U.S. cars stop speed governor BUT given speedo it's not 100% accurate, any guesses on "real" speed?)
6th=199mph (189mph - stock top speed drag limited BUT given speedo it's not 100% accurate, any guesses on "real" speed?)7th = 251mph
