right speed?

[sugar3k]

What is a good speed to drive at on a regular basis to keep the car working properly? I heard that driving above certain speeds(relatively low, around 60 mph) wears the parts down supposedly b/c 3000gts aren't meant to go that fast on the street...does this seem right or is this info. incorrect?

it's a grand touring car. it's just fine at those speeds on the street. and any other speed for that matter.
somebody might have been comenting that the gear ration on the 5-speeds are bad for cruising because 80mph is like 3k rpm which sucks for gas milage.

Any speed is fine...Granted parts will wear faster at 160mph than at 45

55mph is supose to be the best speed for gas mileage, but i dont think anybody bought a 3000GT because it gets good gas mileage

and as far as for wear and tear, it depends on how much you push it to get to a certine speed. If you change gears around 3-4k rpm or less, that should be the least amount of wear.
