Fords always seem to rev really high in freeway driving... My brother's 93 probe GT would be at like 2900 RPM's doing 60 MPH. Where as my mom's Grand prix sits at like 1200 RPM's at the same speed.
Its gearing. Grand Prix with the 4-spd auto has 3.05(I think) final gearing, plus the taller ratios of the auto box. Ford MTX 75 has shorter gear ratios and a 4.06 final drive.
3500 RPM in fifth = 82 mph for me. Stock size 205/55-16 tires.
