What RPM's at what Speeds?

I would hope most of you drive like you talk about your cars. I'm wondering what speeds to shift at. I was on I-95 the other day and was at 110 in 4th, i have a six speed. Lets see what some of you have done.

This morning I was late to work and hit ~135 in fifth gear on the highway. When I shifted into 6th gear I was suprised at the amount of pull it still had. Before anyone yells at me for this, there were very little other cars on the road at the time.

I really like to rev out third gear to about 80. It sounds sweet after about 5500 rpm

If I want to pass someone, I usually drop out of 6th into 4th, but if I'm going slow enough, I like to grab third 'cause it'll pulls like a mofo. Damn, I gotta get headers and the icebox
