Hey guys, I was just wondering what your rpms are around when you guys are cruising on the freeway in 6th gear at about 80-85mph. I'm at over 3k rpm and I thought that was kind of high. I don't know if it's cause my car hasn't been fully broken in yet (I have roughly 350 miles on the car, 2005 6mt). I'm just curious if this is normal. Thanks guys.

 

a constant 80mph i'm at 3,000 rpm

 

3,000 rpm at 80mph is perfectly normal.

 

About the same as you and I have a '03 with almost 30,000 miles on it

EDIT: I'll check it the next time I drive it on the highway. I usually drive the Nissan Sentra for long distance highway driving.

 

wow! fast responses. thanks guys, i was just curious.

 

I think 350Evo makes a final drive that will raise the final RPM's at a given speed, I wonder if anyone makes a finaly drive to lower final RPM's? It would really only be beneficial if you drove at primarily highway speeds.

 

Mine is getting broken in and the rpms are going up about 500 every couple of k miles.

 

i asked the exact same question to my buddy with 6 speed today cuz i thought it was kinda high too..

 

2200 RPM at 60 MPH.
