According to Road and Track:

1st - 42
2nd - 64
3rd - 89
4th - 114
5th - 136
6th - 150

My experience is that these numbers from 1st thru 4th is pretty close, maybe slightly low, but close.

The 150 in sixth isn't redline, only R&T's approximated top speed, which is a bit lower than the actual flat-ground top speed.
There's a couple hundred RPM difference between redline and the rev limiter, so in each gear you can actually go a few mph faster- (about) 45, 66, 93, 118, 141, 175 - for the sixth gear run to redline check out Turbo Dave's video in the s2ki library...

I really enjoy bouncing off my rev limiter at 7,200 rpm.
(Current mileage... 209,000 miles)
