That's really high. My Legacy with the 3.7 pulls 2k at 55. That's closer to 4th in my car. What do you have for tires? Mine are +2's (Forester 16" wheels) so they should theoretically be pretty close to stock (and the speedometer is actually more accurate with the +2s than the original 14" steels going by radar signs, so the gearing didn't change), but without doing the calculations, that seems like you have something taller than a 3.9. I wonder if they also came with 4.11's, then, unless they changed the transmission gearing... That's the same 5th gear speed my 1983 GL had and I thought that was too low even then, with 73 HP. It's not a 1.8 is it? I thought those were dead in '96, but '97 may have been the last year.
