I'm not comfortable cruising above 70-75 because my GReddy Ti is unbearably loud above that. It's the only thing that makes me want to swap for something else, but it doesn't bother me enough to actually do it.

I change speeds constantly. One day I'll do 80 and the next I'll do 60. Depends on what the road conditions are like. I try to keep up with the flow of traffic, but not more. Having a sports car like this draws the police's attention right to you. I drive with in my own personal comfort zone as well. If I see traffic in bulges and people starting to make aggressive moves to get through it; I will stay at 60 and let them get as far away from me as possible. If there are a line of cars doing 80; I'll pull up behind them and follow them. I try my absolute best to never go faster than everyone else on the road.

the answer is no. just change oil every 4k miles. every 15k miles in dif t/c, trans and you golden. If you wanna save on gas drive 65, our cars are gas drinkers ones they see boost.

before build i put 325 miles on full tank of gas while going to BR for shootout, crusing 70-85. and it was 102k miles on stock block.

I rarely drive on the highway (no corners), but when I do it's usually ~5MPH above the limit. Around here, the highways are laden with speed traps. I can't remember the last time I got a speeding ticket and it's almost solely due to picking the right time and place to drive enthusiastically.
