Thanks. Its got a Whipple 2.9 and supporting mods. It blew the stuffing out of my Kooks high flow cats the other day. :lol:
I remember this car from the "other site". What did it pick up compared to premium? (91 or 93?)
Would also like to know this. :)Quote:

I think it's pretty funny. I mean, I understand the disadvantages of E85 over traditional gasoline (lower energy content per unit volume being a big one) as well as the arguments for economic reprecussions, particularly with government subsidies inflating the ethanol market, but overall it's a pretty strong answer to those that were wanting to reduce our foreign dependency on oil.Quote:

Plus Krogers gives me a 70 cents a gallon discount for reward points. So right now I'm paying 2.39 a gallon for the power of a Torko tune which is 5.90 a gallon.
Here are some pics and the mod list

Good to hear from you old timer. Car looks great. Now, I wouldn't ind hearing it as well. :icon23:

How do you like the handling? Everyone thinks the VR-4 is heavy but it handles decently. How bad (or good) is the Shelby?
stangs don't have IRS. my opinion has always been that IRS > solid.Quote:
