I agree, and that's exactly why I went with the .64 fifth gear with my TKO. 70mph is just a hair over 2000rpm and I can actually chat with my passenger -- the wind noise is louder than the pipes. And for a quick blast up to triple digits you just drop it to third. And if you really want to show off, you put it in third, rev it to 6000, and then pop the clutch....
