The M isn't comfortable to drive much over 70MPH, and I generally observe the 4K RPM 'red line' for the 100s--crank failures can happen above that--but it's a hoot driving the mountainous roads around the SF Bay Area. The BJ8 is the better touring car, but it does take some finessing to get it off the line (surprisingly, dumping the clutch relatively quickly but smoothly works the best, but sometimes I have to slip the clutch more than I like).<o:p></o:p></p><p>I think a 3.9 might work well for an 'all-around' car, since the taller OD helps for cruising, but if you're looking at mostly highway miles the 3.54 would be the way to go. I remember Gary Anderson (I think) once saying a 3.54 with the 28% OD might be the best arrangement of all, but you'll lose some quickness.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Bob<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 2/21/2017 6:33 AM, goldengt wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>Depends on where you live.
