lol at 85 in 3rd at 6K RPMs... I don't know about yours, but my 3rd gear redlines at 90 mph.

Speed limit is 55 mph. So I'm cruising around 60-65 through the curves that everyone else slows down on (when there is actually traffic on the road). Also, my gas pedal is not anywhere near close to the floor. I am just at higher RPMs in a lower gear so I can exit the turns quicker because power band. I don't floor it between the curves.
