2013 SL63 shift points

Can anyone confirm what their 2013-14 63 is shifting at when WOT? In first gear, in a fully warmed up car, (sport+ mode) my car is shifting at 5500 and in second it's shifting at 6k. In manual mode I hit a major wall when trying to hold it past 5500, like the rev limiter plain shut the motor off for 2 seconds. It feels like the car is shifting too early, at 5500 power is really starting to build. Shouldn't it be shifting closer to 6300 in all gears??

I guess no one floors these cars :/

On a side note- I can't get over how *****ty the transmission is in this car. Hands down the worst I've seen placed in an automobile. It's like it is always on another page or just dazed and confused...
