Now, if you knock the gear shift to the left to put in sport mode, you can manually shift through the gears by pushing forward or pulling backward on the the gear shift.

From my experience, putting the X in sport mode and manually shifting the gears will give the fastest acceleration.
It will definitely go all the way to 6th gear, if you're cruising at about 80 in S mode, you'll on be in 5th but past 110 ish it will go into 6th
