Message	So I'm sitting here at my computer at around 3 a.m. on a saturday night not tired and very bored. I was thinking to myself, well I haven't driven the Z in about a week due to the weather and being busy. Also she needs some gas. I grabbed my keys, wallet, and camera and headed out. The weather here is about 50-60 degrees with 75-90% humidity tonight. This would be the 1st time I would get to boost her in moderately cool weather. What a difference! There was 0 chance of hooking up in 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd depending on the road. My 245 hankook R-S2's were crying out for mercy. For those of you that want to know what kind of rpms a 4.10 tt will do at hwy cruizing speeds here are some pics. My setup: 4.10 Leader Gears Stock wheels with 45 series tires all around. 97+tranny with NA speed sensor and gear installed This setup should give a pretty accurate speed reading. 70mph. 80mph. Finally a little break at the pump.. Ultra 94! U wish Cali! I also took the advantage of being out between 3-4 a.m. where there is very very little traffic out. I wanted to see what my rpm would be at 160mph. I chose a nice freshly paved section of I-70 east bound to let her stretch her legs. I started out in 5th at about 100mph and eased into it. It climbed to 160 with ease and faster than I expected. 7000rpms @ 160 mph with 4.10 Leader gears.
