I've read through the archives but I thought I would describe my situation.

9 times a year I need to tow a gutted race Miata (2000#)on a tow dolly 60 miles and back. Mostly tollway with little elevation change. I have no concerns about the brakes. I've read 3300# is what the factory says is ok. CAn the trans, AWD systems, turbo and other stuff really handle this ok?

What are your experiences, thoughts, reccomendations on doing this?

Thanks in advance - I've posted this to the S70 board as well.

Best regards,

Alex
