It does not seem like i'm pushing my C70 when I cruise at 45mph. I have been driving it that way for a long time. So far so good. Just keep good oil in it at all times. I actually have put a mark on the right side of my MPH gauge when I wen way over 55mph on a long down hill. That was the only damage my C70 took going that fast. Its a 1882 CDI with over size jets & new Gazelles. other then that shes's stock.
