i drive my car a lot on the highway.my wife and i love to put the top down and go for long drives on the weekends,many times spending the night somewhere and then driving home the next day.i drive my car at least 4 times a week.thanks for all the info Trevor,greatly appreciated.my rpms on the highway are around 3400 and i don`t want to continue driving any real distances at that rpms.i also like the lower first gear,as i still like to put my foot down ever so often and smell that burning rubber.thanks Allen
