I love when people walk up and ask me if my car's stock. I was with a friend getting our Camaros washed, and I left before her. Some guy standing next to her said, "that car's all sound...it doesn't have any power". She had to educate him a bit. Quote:

I plan on putting some 'fun' miles on it this weekend. Get some good seat time. Tropical Storm Debby finally passed through yesterday. So, right after dark, I had my wife take the car out for a spin. Said it was just like a stock Camaro (except for all the different sounds) until you push the pedal harder. She was really amazed how easy it is to drive. Really like how 'flat' it turns. Made her push the pedal hard enough just once to get it right at the edge of boost so that she could here the BOV's. She thought that was the coolest. She had only driven it 4 miles when we first got it in 2009 so the 6 mile drive last night is a record ! Yeah, that's it the manifold. The manifold that takes up about 50% of the engine compartment... |

Soo... are you going to do a short trip and see what kind of fuel mileage it gets?

All downhill...
So the power has gone up a tad, but should still be able to get decent mileage. Give me a few weeks and somewhere along the line we can drive it like 'normal' humans and check the mileage. But at this early stage we are definitely not 'normal' and have no plans to drive like a Gerber Baby. See M's scenario below. It looks to be 100% factual... |
