What kind of RPM 5 speed makes at 80mph

Just curious if anyone could tell me what a 3rd Gen with stock manual 5-speed transmission turns RPMwise at 80 mph (obviously 5th gear), standard size tires, etc?

Just wanted to add something completely different from what you asked-

I'm a little under 2,500rpm at just over 70mph in 5th on 33.5" actual height tires. The sidewall says 315/70R17.
 
My 3.4 l 5 speed with e-locker runs 2300 at 100 km/h (62mph) and that is about 3100 at 130 km/h (80 mph).

Must have lower gears in it.

The photo is upright on my phone - not sure why it is upside down

Realizing this a couple weeks ago is finally what erased my fears of running 5.29s with a 3.4 Auto on 33s, because it is almost exactly the same final drive as above.

FWIW, I just drove 150 interstate miles at 75mph in 3rd Gear, at around 3300rpms, and still got the same mileage once I excluded a few other variables.
