I believe that at 2,000 RPM you are at 80% of full power. These cars have an awesome power band. Shifting at 5,000 RPM I think allows a smoother transition of gears with less stress on the clutch. I never race my car. It doesn't mean I don't accelerate fast at times, but I never race. During normal driving I shift at around 3,500.
