I dunno why, but non-s2k manual transmission drivers are intrigued by the 6th gear. I let my cousin drive once. We were cruising on the freeway at about 70mph. He asks, like a kid in a toy store, "Can I put it in sixth gear?"
He put it in sixth. There was no power, but he had the biggest grin!

ok - here's the info from my car.

on level ground - 5th gear @ 100kph = 3900 rpm
6th gear @ 100kph = 3300 rpm
