Hello I am driving my Spitfire MK3 for the first time, and I have the 1296cc and no overdrive and was wandering what should be the ideal RPM for cruise. I remark that the engine was turning 3700 RPM at 90 Km, that seem to much for me, but I am no expert ==AM== While that engine speed might seem a bit "buzzy" (especially compared to modern cars with 5- or 6-speed overdrive gearboxes), it's really just fine, and the car should easily cruise all day at 4000 rpm or more if all is well. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph Herald engine with wings. -- Cut-price Airlines Sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus (22) Check out the North American Triumph Sports 6 (Vitesse 6) and Triumph Herald Database at its new URL: <http://triumph-herald.us> ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
