This past weekend I finally had a chance to drive the Stag on a trip of
more than a few miles. We drove from Ft. Lauderdale to Vero Beach (about
2 hours of interstate driving each way). I am VERY happy to say that the
car performed great without any real problems. That may not seem like
much, but after having the car in boxes for over 4 years it provides  a
real sense of satisfaction. 

Anyway, the reason for the post is that the Stag is running at about 4
thousand RPMs,at 80 MPH. This is very high compared to my TR6. (The Stag
is an automatic)  Can anybody tell me if this is normal for a Stag? Has
anyone changed the rear end out to get a little better highway
performance?
