KStang3.8 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 i like to attract as little attention to my cars as possible at all times. i bought my cobra for what it was/is--a monster right out of the box. the only exception to liking a nice car for it being a nice car is my wife and her SUV. i used to rev the '87 GT in my sig back when i was in college. i did it all the time, until it was keyed. used to get notes once a month in my apartment complex in grad school to fix my 'broken exhaust'. i'd rather not have people get jealous or notice my car. maybe that will change, but probably not. i feel you man. Whether you like it or not though, people are gawking at your cobra, and mad jealous Also, loud cars are alot more common and accepted nowadays.

Mr. Jones Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 You are aware that a 500hp+ vette will get superior gas mileage to an EVO, right ? Right? I swear to god you sound like you are living inside of old stereotypes about cars, like some sort of bad dream we can't wake up from.

KStang3.8 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 i will admit that i was unaware of that. i suppose i've never looked past the stereotypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Overdrive is a hellova gear... Yes. My 400hp V8 6-speed Camaro gets very similar gas mileage as my buddy's 120hp 1.6L automatic Civic on the freeway. Why are we even having this conversation, I feel like I'm talking to a 12-year-old...

Guest Spam Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Oh. Please explain to a physics major how two engines running similar rpms, at similar fuel pressures, will obtain the same fuel consumption, or better fuel consumption out of an 8 cylinder. Please do tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStang3.8 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 You're in a losing argument sir. Facts are facts. Vettes get better than ALOT of 4 cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to chevrolet.com New 430hp Vette: 26mpg New Evo: 22mpg HAHHAHHAA Sure, because of gearing, and the tendancy for an evo to boost is obvious that fueleconomy.gov will put an evo at 23 mpg. However, if you want, you can get 30 out of it. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do tell. Do me a favor, find out what the heavier, AWD, with insane 4.xx final drive, and super close ratio tranny evo is turning @ 70. VS The lighter,3.42 geared vette... I gotta figure if we all pitch in and spoon feed the info, it won't cause any hemorrhaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 REALLY! Wow. Your Honda must suck then Wagner. I usually could pull nearly 400 miles out of my eclipse gs running around 13 gallons of gas. Don't forget your GSX that is netting infinity MPG at the moment.....

Aaron Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 BDAZGSX, what you've just said, is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
