With a 3:54 rear end and a Mitchell 26% overdrive on 600 X 16 tires and hydraulic brakes, I find I can stand a long day doing 55 MPH on the freeways here in Calif. I have driven from Danville (SF Bay area) to Chula Vista in one day and also the return in one day. Was a long 14 hr. Day each way. A tad over 600 down and 550 back, Hwy 1, Vs Hwy 101, with a couple of side trips to view sea and lakes. Car will do it all day and night, I, at 83 years of age, can't.
