3500RPM @ 80MPH - 5 speed

[Crazified]

Just curious... 3500RPM @ 80MPH with my 5-speed is what I've got. What's the RPM for those of you with 6-speeds??

Right. As you can see from that chart, the actual RPM at 80 mph for a stock '91-94 5-speed is (80/186)*8000 = 3440 RPM. Sources of differences between that calculated number and your speedometer/tachometer include speedometer error, tachometer error, tire treadwear, and tire deflection. Using the same chart, the RPM at 80 mph with the stock '97+ 6-speed in sixth gear is (80/202)*8000 = 3168 RPM.
