2017 BRZ Manual Crusing RPM
Hi all!
I'm just wondering what the cruisng rpm of the refreshed manual BRZ's is at highway speed in 6th gear. (60,70,80 mph) I know the diff has been made to gear the car shorter - was the 6th gear made taller to compensate? For reference 70 mph is ~ 4000 rpm in a NB miata Thanks! |

Sounds right. I don't remember exactly, but this was a concern before I bought mine as well. The speed limit in my area is often 70mph, which means people are going about 75-80. It cruises just about as good as my old 5 speed manual 07 Scion tC, but of course this car is 6 speed with a higher redline. Somehow my 17 BRZ also manages to get better fuel mileage than my old tC did, especially cruising on the highway at 65-70.

As long as the noise is tolerable I am happy. After trips in the NB everything else feels like a Bentley

That's not bad. The old gearing hits 91mph at 4k RPM IIRC. Also, cruise control has a max set of 4k RPM. I'm assuming that's still the case with the 17s?

80MPH indicated is just below 4,000 RPM om my '17 manual transmission Performance Pack car. Noise is not an issue for me at that speed/RPM. On flat ground with the CC set to 80 the car thinks it's getting 32-36MPG.

You can't set a cruise speed above 4k rpm, but you can set it below 4k and use the stalk to raise the speed.
