Victor here, I wanted to mention that ACRX does 65 MPH on the second gear easily (at 5000 RPM) and have room to accelerate to 75 mph (7000 RPM). Usually by then I switch on 3rd gear, because after half hour of 65 mph on the 2nd the gear box is quite warm. Not that it's about to fail, just waste of energy. Victor
