    Default Took the GTO out to fill up the tank.....

    Grey WRX was apparently feeling frisky. He had a chrome fire ext. and a shift light on his pillar, loud fart pipe and nice rims. Looked damn near like a racecar right up until he got walked about 10+ car lengths. It feels good having this car out again. Idle issues are cleared and she's running mean.

    For the life of me I cannot see why there are folks who get upset that GM "still" uses pushrod, 2-valve-per-cylinder technology. LSx>allothers

    People that are too blind to see when a good thing comes along just for the sake of being a fan.

    Yeah you gotta wonder why 30-35mpg in Corvette from a cam in block pushrod engine doesnt speak for itself.

    Wish my Vette powered SUV would get that, geez I got 15.5-16.5 at 75-80mph cruising over 300mi. Cant complain, beasted a 5.7 Tundra and a Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo BIG time. Taking the Saab from 75-110 is hard, Ive got a brick and he had a car haha.

    Hey man, I can dream right? Haha I knew my TBSS would never get good mileage but it does everything else I want and need it to do. Eventually Ill have a Dmax with 1000+ tq and 500+ hp for towing that gets 23 on the hwy and 17 around town plus a grocery getter that gets 30+ city. A few years off I believe.
