What are you driving?

Any idea what that'll do in the quarter mile?

I haven't taken her to the track, and don't really plan on it until I get the clutch replaced... But I see throwing down an easy high 11 right now.

I was guessing mid 11s. I haven't raced mine, but my friend has the identical truck setup and pulled 12.9, not bad for a big fat beast.

I get 26-28 miles per gallon on the hwy, and about 17-20 in the city depending on how heavy my foot is. Thats with a 5.7L V8 w 465hp w 445# fts of torque.

13,7litres (how we count it here) - highest i ever was, were 8.2litre - paddled to the medal though.
thats not an issue at all - benzine engines eat more than diesels.
the problem is regular pollution those cars produce.

however, owning a car in europe is a bit of luxury. you hardly see cars over 150hp as a dailywhore.

Are those numbers kilometers per litre?

litres per 100 kilometers. as far as i know, everywhere in europe people count this way.
i also know that there are many ways you guys in the US count it, but im really a noob at US measurements...

Very nice setup. I've been itching to get a Golf diesel and then tune it for moderate performance. 400nm is sick, bro. Gotta love that torque!

VW and AUDI produce solid engines and transmissions.
that 1.9litre VW engine runs approx 400t kilometers. easy modable to 200hp. 200hp and above gets really pricey...

best part is that switchable software - you dont know how annoying that BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP from that traction- and ESP system can be in the winter if i use the 200hp setup... especially at that snow chaos right now.

Saturn Astra

Except mine is "Sapphire Black"

only a 1.8L engine, but it's high compression packs a punch.

Not to mention it's suspension was designed by Lotus, so the damned thing can out maneuver almost all the other cars in my town.

huh? that car looks exactly like an OPEL Astra.
isnt OPEL (Germany) sold under Saturn in the US? like the VW Jetta is called BORA in europe...

Nice... '07, so still with the 5.9 then. Smarty programmer, by chance?

Didn't understand a thing they were saying, but it was fun listening to the chatter. That VR6 is winding up pretty high.

We do miles per gallon, with a gallon being close to 4 litres and miles being close to 2 kilometers.
