CVT AWD @6500rpm

Hi,
a few days ago while accelerating onto a highway under full throttle, I noticed the rpm went as high as 6500. This lasted a few (<10) seconds and then they went to 6000 as should be the max for the CVT version. During the trip, I never saw this again (always capped at 6000rpm).
Did anyone else notice this? When does this happen?
Regards,
Klement

I have seen it hold at 6800 before. No apparent reason, except it was thoroughly floored....

Note to sell....avoid pre-owned Kizashis from the VT area
Seriously, I enjoy reading how you enjoy driving the pizz out of the car.

I don't see anything wrong about going the full throttle way assuming the engine etc. is properly warmed up... You can't really hope to drive in the 160-200km/h speed range @2000rpm
I'm only asking because I didn't see 6500 rpm before and its not supposed to be allowed according to the manual.

My CVT has never went above 6K, it hovers right at 6 even with the pedal mashed

One thing I've noticed too is that while in manual mode in 4th gear at 40-50mph slowing down to around 20mph THEN accelerating back up it does the downshift like I'm in D. It also depends on how much throttle I am applying.
