When just cruising- 3k. When I want to have some fun I start to shift when I see 6.4k in my peripheral.

Sometimes when I feel like it 2500 from 1st-2nd and then 2000-2500 for the rest. Usually around 3k, when I'm having a bit of fun around 4k, and when I'm with the Ferrari club, 6400

I typically go 3000 in most cars I drive, unless it's a low revving engine. Sometimes I do get on it a little bit though, but very rarely even get close to redline.
