I'm at about 3300-3400 at 70ish. But then again I have full RA spec gears so this post is useless

If the cars tray is stock they will all be the same. The size of your wheels/tires can change the rpm's at speeds though. I'm rolling on 18's and at 71mph I'm at 3000rpm on the dot, and it's a 04 Sti 6 speed

I got the JDM 6speed and have been mobbing to tahoe and back. It pretty much sucks. Around 4k around 80mph. Rough. Not to mention it eats ethanol like a champ

makes sense, I'm running 235s currently which are taller

I'm a lil disappointed about the 6spd. The camaro and vette 6spds the 6th gear is a nice tall overdrive. My buddy gets 28mpg in his z06. That car is sliiiiippery.

Kid i worked with had a camero and he said the same thing. 6th gear on the freeway was crazy good gas millage, super low rpms

best things about 09 wrx gears are that they are a bit stronger, in 2nd gear i redline at 7k-70mph, and 3rd gear 7k is 95mph ...old 04 gears topped out at roughly 65-85 respectively
