 Questions:
How fast will your Westy D go now, will it run easily at 70 MPH. Volks
drive very fast down here in Texas, 70 MPH is the baseline now on the
freeways. I am hoping to be able to cruise easily at 65, but to have the
gearing to be able to pass with authority, and cruise easily at 70 MPH
if needed.
