it's just 1500 miles!! some people do that in a matter of a day or 2 all the time. It's a car, it's meant to be driven. get in and drive. enjoy your trip and don't forget to put in gas!!!

Yes I would!!

But I just found humor in this...Spend $2300 on a rear end so you can leave at 6k rpm's and then wonder if it will go 1500 miles
