You are taking a series rig up to 80 MPH on a regular basis as a
highway cruise speed? Oh lordy lordy lordy!! And I bet you are
planning to do this with oversize tyres too.
Mind if I take a life insurance policy out on you?
And I'm just happy to be cruising at 65 MPH at around 2750 RPM and
reserve 70 MPH for passing them uppity 4.6 Range Rovers on grades. And
I keep the tyres balanced, toe in spot on and know the steering
geometry is within one tenth of one degree from factory spec. Had it
laser measured I did.
80 mph @ 2,200 RPM, oh my! That has got to calculate out to 100 MPH @
<3000 RPM!
