Guess I'm not that sensitive to it. I was on highway driving at various speeds last night and don't get drone at any of them. for me it's all about revs. 2000 rpm, foot down in 4, 5,6th gear will result in lots of drone/vibration. earlier gears rev up quicker so it's not as a problematic.


Also, as a side note, I read your Mustang buying trip thread for the first time. Both that and Z ver 2 is awesome. I think I want to do a trip for my next car purchase Seems like its worth the drive.

My questions though, is that a bad break in for a car, to drive it for 900 miles at more or less constant highway speeds/rpms/gears?
