Default Am I doing something wrong?

I switch gears by the sound of the engine and i usually do it as the sound starts to get higher pitched. When im in like 3rd gear im maybe at 40. My question is how do some guys just blast off super fast like that? The sound on the first three gears sounds like it tops out real quick, does 4th 5th and 6th gear top out a little slower? or am i just doing something wrong?
