5th gear, 75 and 4100 rpms? WTF? do you have a ITR tranny with a 6.00 fd in it or something? ( or is this normal rpm)

my SIR2 b16a going 80mph in 5th = 4000rpm and I am never wanting for power when I want to pass going this speed

when I drive around town (under 55mph) 4th is my choice

1st through 3rd are the gears that I use to get up to speed but never the ones I go long distances in (unless I'm on a road that has a 30mph speed limit, then I stay in 3rd)

if you want to accelerate fast and have poor gas mileage then run your gears to redline everytime
if you aren't trying to showoff and care about the planet and your wallet then shift somewhere in the middle of the rpm range
if you are trying to piss off a guy behind you because he's a dumbass then shift at 1500 and slow down the second the light turns yellow
