Just to be sure, does everyone get around 3k rpms going 70mph in 5th gear?
I just got an evo and I'm just checking because it seems a bit high, idk.

Sounds about right for a VIII GSR. The IX GSR is at 3k RPM in 5th gear at 64 MPH.

Welcome to the world of the Evo. Terribly high rpm's, and extremely low mpg's. It's all worth it in the end though
