I didn't notice this until a friend of mine pointed this out to me, but if I'm cruising in 5th gear at 80MPH, is my engine supposed to be spinning at 4000RPMs? At ~45MPH, it's rotating at about 2400RPMs. Now I know this my be a different car, but in the 5SFE auto Camry that I used to drive, 2000RPMs at the highest gear was 50MPH. Anyone else with a GT notice this or is it just me?
