well, I don't remember the exact RPMs that the long legged Stingray runs at 70mph but it's less than 1,500 in 8th gear

and if you're on flat ground or a bit downhill or downwind - only using 4 cylinders

I forgot to post on it when we got back, but one of my buddies up in Illinois bought one of these. We went up into Wisconsin for a long ride. This is a very nice car car. Handling and power are really strong. He had it tuned to make about 550 HP.

550hp seems to be a good number - very sufficient

Rental car in Denver was a 2026 Toyota 4Runner. I know @utee94 is a fan. 

I gotta say, it was a cool ride. We had a little time to kill and went to the Denver flagship REI store because I wanted to look at a Garmin watch, and it felt right at home in that parking lot. Seemed like a really fun, rugged, off-road capable car. 

It's the type of car I could see myself owning...

...in my 20s or 30s.

Not now. It's bumpy, not all that comfortable, drives like a truck and handles like a light truck... 

In fact, it reminds me a lot of my Jeep, which is why I liked it. But it also reminds me why I only drive the Jeep sporadically for fun [as I did today], and drive the Acura as my daily. I wouldn't be interested in the 4Runner as a daily. 

Cool car. I'm just too old for it to be my daily.

Yeah you have the Jeep.  No need for a 4Runner.  Same here.  But they are cool.

As far as SUVs go, I absolutely loved my Tahoe Z71 4x4.  It was pretty smooth overall but was still a very capable offroader and a reasonably capable tow vehicle for my uses at the time.  If GM or Ford made a 3/4 ton SUV I would no doubt own and drive it right now.
