5th gear rpm
 

Hi All,
I am interested to know what revs your cars sit on at 100kph in 5th (and 6th) gears. My forester sits at about 2.9k/2.8k and the wrx about 2.7. It just seems kind of high but maybe i'm wrong!
Cheers :)

From memory, my 99 5 speed puts me at almost exactly 2.5k rpm at 100km/h.

3k in my 4.11 equipped RS.

Standard 5 speed in the foz was ~2600rpm for 100km/h with correct sized tyres.
04 6 speed is 2800rpm with the sti speed sensor and wrx sized tyres (when I have the foz tyres on it still says 100 at 2800 but I'm doing around 107-108km/h)
EDIT: 5 speed is 4.44 and 6er is 3.9

i have the standard size tyres/rims on the foz, seems she's running quite high then if thats the standard. from memory that's how its always been though :icon_frow

Thats strange, is it secondhand? Might have a different box in it

Long ratio 6 speed. approx 2500rpm @ 100kph in 6th gear.

original box been in family since new

i dont think its doing any harm since we've never had an issue with it but i'll pose the question when she goes in for service next!

what are people who have my06 wrx sitting on at 100, just after some comparisons. running slightly wider tyres but only changes speedo by -3%

MY99 Original 5 Speed ~ 3000rpm in 5th @ 100
