What a nice drive Its been almost 9 months.

Also racked up about 100+ miles on it over the weekend. Some in bad traffic. It drives fairly nice. Just need to quiet it down a lil more.

no, loud is 7700 rpms in that car with the cutouts open. OMG i was in heaven (or atleast i though we were heading in that direction).

lol

nice to see a car like that drive on the street as well as it does, and it is only gonna get better with more tuning and fixing here and there.

I defiantely need to quiet it down more. I live in a deed restricted neighborhood. I can imagine the neighbors did not like me pulling up at 3 am last night.

Well..the tank is 15.5 gallons I believe. I filled it last night before leaving. I would estimate approx 100 miles yesterday (very rough estimate) with alot of WOT blasts....and today it had little less than half tank. So I would say in the neighborhood of 13 mpg for the night with mostly city driving. I bet 20 highway would not be out of the question. If the MAF was still on it would be better. But all in all its just fine.

Wow. Is there a number or email address I can get where I might sign up for the Fat Head Fan Club news letter so I can get up to the minute info on things like weekly milage and traffic manners...even better yet where I might be so lucky as to catch a glimpse as he speeds by???
