My first car was a CRX HF. The RPMs never went above three in that thing. After it
got totalled, I got a Del Sol SI and I constantly thought I was gonna blow the engine in it for the first month 'cuz the RPMs ran so high. I totally wasn't used to it. By the time I got the Celica, I was used to super-high RPMs. When I first got the Celica GT, I took various road trips in it (about 5 hours each way)..and I cruised at about 85-90 with no problems. I did this trip about 20 times and never had an incident. I just always checked my fluids before I hopped in the car and hit the freeway. I think the trade-off is worth it. I like having the power. You can hit the gas at 80 and get moving if you need to.
