Hi all. I just bought a 2000 C230K for my wife. I have a quick question. I was driving down the highway at 80mph and looked at the tach. It was at 3200 rpm. Is that where is should be? It just seems high to me but I have never owned one of these before. I cruise around in my car (2003 Mach 1)at about 2400 rpm. Thanks

That sounds about right. Your Mustang has a lot more torque than the 230, so it doesn't need to rev as much.

I'll admit the ride quality is alot better but the Mach 1 is awesome. I'll be supercharging it soon, so let the fun begin! Still love the C230 though. :D
I was suprised how quick it was for a 4cyl. We will be taking it to VT for the holidays, so I'll get some good driving time with it.
