To Old 31: On my post#5 on Feb.25 regarding the T5 transmission you requested on your post #12 on Feb.26 what my RPMS were at 60-65 MPH? Today was a beautiful day in New York's Hudson Valley so I took the "A" out for an 11 mile ride; on a long straightaway I ran the car to 65MPH in 5th gear... RPM was between 2600-2700. I do have a 6.1 Snyder head with a 3.78 rear end. My comfort range on open roads is 45-50 MPH in 4th gear (2100-2300 RPM), occasionally going to 55MPH in 5th gear with 2200 RPM. I hope that this helps. Gary D.
