Road & Track, July 2012 issue, pg. 89.
At 7400 rpm the speeds in each gear are respectively:
1: 35 mph (too much commotion in town)
2: 58 mph
3: 83 mph (you could be in trouble)
4: 105 (you're probably going to jail)
5: 127 (do you have a lawyer?)
6: 135 (estimated at 6000 rpm, so I assume it's drag limited)
RPM at 60 mph in top gear: 2700

RPM at 60 mph in top gear: 2000 in the A/T version. If you want fuel economy the A/T is the way.
