I do this all the time in my Jetta, but not at 65!  Maybe 50.  I do 60 
all the way across the bridge (my insruance company and I are not on very 
good terms, I don't wan't to agrivate them) and get passed the whole 
time.  I get to the curves comming out of the tunnel and I regain my spot 
in front of everyone who passed me on the way, and most of the cars I 
pass on the turns I know handle better than mine.  Its fun 8^)
