2007 GT 5 Speed Manual Question
I have a 2007 GT 5 speed manual and was curious about the total lack of acceleration when in 5th gear. Are these cars more or less 4 speeds with 5th being basically overdrive? I don't get it into 5th very much - do most of my driving around town, but I noticed that when I am on the highway, I just don't get very good acceleration with I'm in 5th gear. Is this normal?

Yeah, it is 'normal'. There is nothing in 5th, but don't feel bad as it is common with most manual cars. Even the 6th gear in my old '95 911 was sluggish. I mean it did nothing but cruise, for gas mileage only. No acceleration at all.
