Even though optimum power comes at 5800, you still are accellerating at a
good rate on up to about 6400 or so.  Besides, revving it higher in each
gear will give you higher rpm's at the start of your next gear.

BTW, does anyone have horsepower/torque curves for Sciroccos, these would be
cool to have.
