No, that's the speed at which the XPAG starts to sing.  If the car starts
to shake at 55 MPH, then the suspension needs serious work.

I'm with you, Chip:

        Forty years ago (as I do every day today) I chugged along then (and I 
chug along as easily today) at seventy five miles each hour or more along the 
expressway without the slightest glitch or a hitch or a shake or a scary sound 
in an XPEG.

        The pitch of the engine sounds far more shrill now, I must confess, 
than similarly displaced engines which run alongside, forty years later, yet 
nothing about it is scary today all the same. 

        Though the poor puppy passed ninety, that had been almost surely 
directly down the fall line.

        (She would have been willing, but I'd not prepped her for that go.)
