When I drove from Boston to Ft. Worth, TX, we _averaged_ over 75 from the
Arkansas state line to Ft. Worth (posted speed was 70). I'm pretty sure
we're talking at least 8 hours driving at more than 3500 RPM's with
considerable time over 90 MPH.
Yes, it'll stay together.
I've been on atleast 6 or 7 TR6 journeys like that.
Note - I do not have overdrive. I also had to keep slowing up to let the
trailer queens catch up to me.
