3:42 vs 3:73 gear

man its been so long since I drove my monte (been driving the s10 lately, but took her out for a spin this weekend) I was mistaken for the rpms. it does 2200 at 60 and like 26-2700 at 75-80 mph. I still think thats a little high . but hey they built these in the 80s when ma speed limits were 55

2200 RPM at that speed isnt high at all. it just SEEMS like it it. its seems very reasonable to me given that a good performance gear and a 3 speed auto will put it closer to 3500 at the same speed.
