How low? What revs at what speed in 5th for example. IIRC, my MY93 is doing about 4000 at 85-ish in 5th.

I have had over 145 mph in my wrx in 5th gear, mine is a 93

I don't know what the revs were at as my rev counter is broken

Yep,

MY93 WRX - in 5th gear runs at just under 4,000rpm at 80mph, and revs-out at an indicated 145mph

4th gear runs out at just over 100mph
