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.

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

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
