I just did a 350 mile trip over the weekend.
Went 4200rpm with 5speed and 3.7 rearend. Not sure how fast that really
was... Highway grades slowed the car (2 people and luggage) down
condiserably but I didn't downshift.
Had no problems either, I guess this ole engine knows it will be
retired soon...
