Speedo readings

When im in 5th gear, doing 70mph. My revs are sitting at 3500rpm.
Does this sound correct.

Depends on the gearing in your car surely. Fifth gear in mine at 70mph is around 3000rpm, maybe 3200 depending on conditions etc.

sounds about right compared to my v5 but i thought the V ltd had the longer 5th or was that just an urban myth?
