I had an ‘83 280ZX Turbo that I drove cross-country. The service guys came to me when I took it in to be prepped for the trip, and asked if I’d help answer a question they had been pondering for a while - namely, would the cruise control work at redline in fifth gear?

I picked out a nice straight, flat stretch of US Route 2 in northeastern Montana to try it. It worked, at least for the 4 or 5 seconds I had it on; but I was too far scared to leave it on any longer.
