Hehe that car has been driven like 1,000 miles in 14 months and 99% of
them track miles. Yes plenty of grunt for a street car. However shifting to
5th at 7,100 puts it at like 5,000 and the acceleration is less then stellar.

Pffft I'm just going to slap some honking cams in there so I can rev to 9,000! :)

Or you could just slow down on the highway as 60 is like 3,000RPM. :)

Are you sure? I thought the P10's I've driven have been spinning
like 2,000 at 60 on the highway. Versus our 3,000.
