Well I realize that driving 60 on interstate is akin to crawling on you hands and knees in a roller derby, but it was just a fact that I was stating. If you have to make that drive very often you might consider a different set up all together. I have to take my 240 with 4.10s out on interstate occasionally and she really complains at anything over 65-70. It annoys a lot of people but I seldom break the speed limit anyway. If their life is so chaotic that they need to drive 85 then that is thier problem, not mine.

no insult meant

no insult meant to slower drivers .where i live the only way to get anywhere is the interstate and in order to avoid getting run over or having a semis front bumper 6 inches from my back bumper is to run the limit which is 75 i know it burns more fuel but there is no other choice .
i really was just kidding
