I've never done a sustained 80, though (maybe >because the cars I've owned so far in my life haven't been capable of it). Well you really gotta have a super car to even get up to 80 on the Garden State Parkway since they put the mortar forking toll barriers about every half-mile. Gives you just enough distance to get up to a slow cruise then you slow down for the next toll. Hardly seems worth shifting out of first gear. What a detestable excuse for a road. Fortunately I very rarely go that route. pete peterson rep@genrad.com (508)369-4400 x2478; Home: (508)256-5829 (Chelmsford, MA)
