What RPM should I be at when I'm doing 80mph?
 
I have a automatic and I don't know if it's right but should I be at 3500RPMs at 75/80 MPH? Seems like it wants to change gears but won't! even if I hit 90 it still don't. Problem?

Sounds about right. AT's will hold higher RPM at that speed vs MT's.

exactly at 3k at 80mph manual!!

3500 @80mph sounds right for an AT. Like others have posted I am at 3k @80 in my 6mt

SniperHunter Jan 31, 2008 04:24 PM

3500 is just about correct.

3500 for at and 3000 for 6mt is about right...keep in mind that 350z have a close-ratio transmission so you'll be running higher rpm than you would think

Just about 3 grand in MT6 at 80, seems to be the answer here.

3K here for 05 6MT. As a side note that is also about the same RPMS in my 4cly 01 auto honda accord which trips me out cause both cars get about the same hwy mpg. I do it for al gore :)
