The combination was a hardtop, cruise, good AC, six speed to lower the RPMs a bit, stock exhaust and suspension, and an excellent aftermarket seat. I wasn't traveling that far from home for events yet, so the longest round trip was only about 200 miles, but I'm sure that it would have been fine for an eight or ten hour drive.
C5Z06 or Tesla 3.
