highway RPMs
 
okay i am just wondering, my STOCK except exhaust 97 gt runs around 2.2-2.3K rpms at 70mph.. now for stock gears that seems a little high for me, what do yall think???

never owned a 94-98 but that doesnt sound high to me.

I too have not owned a sn95, and it doesn't sound too high to me either.

That doesn't sound bad and yours is only 2 years older then mine. I believe mine is the same (maybe), I don't completely pay attention. I'll find out when I go to work in the morning. haha

I don't know if it makes a difference that mine is a Manual/Stick but I just checked it out to make sure.

5th Gear:
50 MPH @ 1,500 RPM
75 MPH @ 2,000 RPM
