I use the entire power band and generally keep it above 3K. I often hit 6.5K and rarely hit the rev limiter. But the clutch on my 99 is so smooth it's unbelievable. I plan to teach my 16 old daughter to drive a clutch in my car because of it. However, if I miss a shift and dump it too soon I always tell myself I screwed that one up. Happens less and less as time goes by, but occasionally I'll over rev a start from standing stop (may hit 3K when it's not required). I never dump the clutch, nor would I do so intentionally as it's just a bad idea all around.
