Re: Is this normal (95DropTop)
You've just got the taller gear set, 2.73 to 1 if I'm not mistaken for that year in convertible. Scorp know's, he'll probably chime in later today.
You've also got the 4L60E which has an over drive of 0.70, and the lock-up converter decreases the cruising rpms by 300-500 rpms.
All this stuff put together gets you a really low cruising rev. :cheers:

Re: Is this normal (BobMachus)
Now that I think about it, I turn 1800 rpms at 65 mph, so at 80, that should be around 2000-2100, although I've never thought to check.
I have a 2.59 rear gear.

With my 6 speed and 3.45's, at 2000 I'm doing around 80, at 2500 I'm close to 100 :eek:
