When I race my 03 Cobra , I shift every gear to almost
6,500 rpm. Am I revving the car too far and hurting
my et and speed ?

no. as long as you arent hitting the limiter you are fine. You problem is your launch and you granny shifting.

I use to shift around 6300 because the needle is a little lagged and if you try shifting at 6500 you might bump the limiter. You are good anywhere from 6000-6500. I bumped my revlimiter to 6700 and I'm going back to 6500.

Cobra10th, it does hurt your car to hit your rev limiter,
but don't make a practice of it.
When you hit the rev limiter, I believe it cuts down
the spark timing and fuel.

Cobra10th, sorry! It does NOT hurt your engine to hit
the limiter.
