I shift 75% at 2500-3000 RPM
24% I shift at 4000 RPM.

I rarely shift higher then 5000 RPM, oly when I race on trafic lights.

Honestly, I do not know. When I shift, it depends on conditions both inside and out of the car. Traffic, weather, how fast I feel like going, how much I want to hear complaints from the passengerside, there is a lot more than just saying I shift at 3 to 4 grand.

I never really thought about what rpm I shift at. I usually don't look at the tach when I shift, unless I'm getting on it which isn't too often. I'll pay more attention to it when I leave work today.

During regular driving ill shift about 2800-3000 RPM but if I feel like going faster or showing off a little bit Ill take it up to redline. It jsut depends on how Im driving
