 What model?
 A Westy will have a little more drag because of the top...my '84 maxes out
 at +/- 72mph at around 4000 rpms (no tach); more at higher revs. My '91
 (2.1L) with auto trans will go about the same (75 mph at 4100) but will go
 up to 90 if I want to push it hard (too hard) but not redlining.
