somebody probably snuck some 4.77 gears in on your car before you bought it

Cold engine, the rev limiter comes in about 7500 RPM. Avoid this! Make sure you have half a tank of heat - 3 bars showing on the guage.
With a warm engine, I shift at 40, 62, and 90. 40 to 62 only takes a couple of seconds.
Interesting. My Escort ZX2 shifted at about the same speeds with a 6500 redline and 7000 rev limiter.

This COLD REV LIMITER is one of the most fundamental characteristics of this car. Had you described your situation more accurately, it would have been concluded without all the speculation and guessing that has transpired.

So, in other words, when you made this statement:
You didn't know what the heck you were talking about. You gave the impression that your engine reached redline. This would mean that you saw it get to 9000 rpm, which obviously, you didn't. By not describing your situation in detail, you made a whole bunch of people step into a thread to try and explain something based on what they believed was you reaching REDLINE and not getting to appropriate speed.
