my 6th gear problem? :)

i have had this car for less then a week and everytime i hit the gas on the freeway in 6th, i always think i am in 4th and try to put it in 5th! haha, the pull on these cars is amazing! *GRIN* it does seem weird that going 80 in 6th, the engine is all the way up to 3K tho. is 6th an overdriver gear in this car? (ie higher then 1:1)?

wow, i am very impressed that a v6 can pull that hard with that drive ratio. it is an amazing car. i owned two different 88-93 v8's and i dont think they pulled as hard at 80+. maybe i have just become soft driving crap around the lat few years tho :/
