I've done a couple of 2.5 hr drives in the car, on the wrong type of road seal it's horrible, on the smooth stuff the car's awesome. On Australian hwy's i don't think I could do 3hrs + in the car... For those with ultra smooth roads, I imagine you could drive for ever in this car.
Yeah I agree, that a taller final gear would be sweet. Esp since most of the times I drive mine it is highway. I wouldn't mind a 6th gear that dropped my rpms down to 2k! I could make due with 1-5 for normal city driving and 6th for lockin' in on the highway.
