I guess that is correct, but I am daily driving a '79 Midget, with the
supposedly shorter rear end, and it screams at Interstate speeds. Sounds
good, but I wuld fathom a guess that it isn't good for the engine to be
driven at Grand Prix sounds very long. I ALWAYS plan 2-lane routes on trips
in the Midget. 2-lane routes are more fun, more scenic, and more truck-free
anyway, and only a bit slower because of all the Tennessee State Flowers
(Orange Traffic cones) sprouting out there these days. Good enough reason
for a 5-speed and 4:22 in a 1275, doncha reckon?
