Any evidence that overrevs matter at all?

The sweet spot is right between max torque, around 4.5k rpms and max HP, around 6.5, so you if you shift at max hp, you will be at or above max torque and never have to redline the car. And why in the world would you ever drive like this on the street?
In the motorcycle world theres a term called squids. If you are going to the redline on the street, then you are a Porsche calamari.

FWIW, There are circumstances where staying in the throttle beyond the HP peak will gain benefits on the track. If you are approaching a braking zone and are near "redline", beyond HP peak, etc. ... it may prove faster to not make the upshift if the shift and return to WOT can not be completed in time to continue acceleration.
