How many miles does your 3.0 have?

A pic of hitting 76k miles, back in April, when I was migrating north

PS: Wally's X remains my hero!

4,000 at 80 seems v. high. Not familiar with the manual X - is that in overdrive?

No OD on the old 5 spd manual...the newer 6 spd manual is slightly
overdriven, ratio-wise.

Those rpms were probably a tad higher than usual at that speed,
as I had pressed on the gas pedal lightly, passing someone.
But, yes the 5 spd = high rpms at highway speed. My Vette, pic
below, turns about 1600 rpms at 75 mph, thanks to 5th being OD
and 6th gear is way OD.
