the car wants to go fast. the wife told me to slow down 3 times today. i looked down and was doing 80 and didn't have a clue. the tire size is 195/60 15. what are you doing at 3000 rpm on the freeway? i'm going out for a few of my favorite onramps this afternoon.

2900 in 5th is reads 70 mph for me. But I believe it is about 60 since everyone is passing me. I run the same tire size as you. I usually drive just below 3000 and have only been pulled over once since 1982. Don't believe the speedo or the wife (no offense Jean but in the 914 you're sitting a little low). I just try to keep up with traffic and that's getting harder to do. Man I sound like an old fart. By the way, the only way to keep up with Geoff is to keep him behind you. Find a narrow road and drive wide or smoke him out like I do. LOL. Dave |
