I just saw your post over on Turbobuick.com. Those guys were making some pretty smart suggestions.

The car will go as fast as your wallet will take you. Give us a budget and we'll tell you how fast it will go.

The only thing I didn't see mentioned on the other site was your choice of tires. They can make a BIG difference on your holeshot

Congratulations on your purchace!

Eric

not many bone stockers left that arent trailer queens. they are fun cars to drive. good gas mpg if you leave your foot out of it but who does that!!! Thanks, jeff9200

It's hard to stay out of it but when you do the fuel economy is pretty good, I drove my hardtops home from the west coast(884 from Reno, NV to NYC and 1461 from LA to NYC). I saw 24-28mpg with 1461 depending on speed and terrain and saw as high as 34mpg with 884 because at the time it had 2.77 gears in the rear.

I do love driving them though, thats why I wont buy low mile examples(mine have 52K, 60K, 61K, and 73K), they are just too much fun to drive
