Hey this is no 4.56 geared 69 Camaro Z28 which. My 1991 has the 3.91's and with stock size wheels 235 45 17's I cruise at 80 KM/H at exactley 2000 RPM and at 120 KM/H she is pegged at 3000 rpm. Now I assure you at 120 KMH this car is bloody quiet and this engine simply does not buzz in any way on the highway. Its a rather loud car in the city but on the highway she cruises all day at these speeds.Now I am not too sure how accurate my speedo is I would presume +/- 5%. I love travelling in this car on extended trips, its fast, quiet, safe and fun to boot.

C

on M5's....what rev speed are you guys buzzing at 80mph and 100mph......dosen't that get annoying on long trips??
