Muscle/economy Or BOTH ?

[Ronkh]

WOW !!!!

My point of this thread was the great mileage that I got on my trip.

IMHO - 36+ MPG ain`t too bad for a 460+hp engine, on a car that is able to do 195 MPH (nannied)

Since I have been racing since I was 16 y/o . There is no substitute for pure brawn.

Technology is great, but gimme good old fashioned Detroit iron (figure of speech) or mebbe a combo of both.

I`m old school where cid/compression ratio, a holley "double pumper", headers posi and 392+ rears is what made a car go, then mebbe add a blower (super charger for your youngins) and ya got something special.

To me it`s sorta like the crash ratings of today - which would you rather be in? A suburban or smart car in a crash?

Geez, this is turning into more of a pi$$ing contest than my political threads

Wow! Didn`t realize I was going on a cruise...

Nope, missed the boat, the ship has sailed. The dinghy with the V6 Merc Cruiser will be along in about an hour.

It`s a generational thing, different perspectives on what`s cool at the car show. Sonic`s throwin` down about 140, right?

Had you told me maybe I wouldn`t have missed it. I`ll wait for that V6 dinghy since you are sailing it shouldn`t be problem making up that hour!!!

Ron, wondering if one of these pre-orders had your name on it. If not, get busy. There`s always room for two.

Pretty sure this one will do 37.5 mpg.

I`ll stick with Japanese sports cars, some of which have a nice mix of power and MPG.

Mine however does not meet those standards. Overall I average about 19.5 MPG in a 4cyl .

You just need an English Racing tune. I get over 32 mpg with my Evo IX. puts down over 400 hp and 350 tq. Just tune your final gear for economy. It doesn`t hurt to rebuild the transmission with the HKS final drive and JDM 5th gear to lengthen the gearing.

8 observable mpg on track however.

I have a 13 Charger RT Black Top, 13 Durango RT Black Top and a 13 GT500 with every option except the glass roof. My previous daily drivers were Ford Fusion and Toyota Highlander. In no way shape or form do I want to go back to a V6 after having 2 Hemis as daily drivers. The Charger gets 14 and the Durango gets 13 around town and I could care less. Every time I press my foot down there is a smile on my face. Durango runs 15.5 and the Charger runs 13.8 spinning off the line. I have gotten 23 mpg with the GT500 in 6th gear at 60 mph and I will never drive her like that again.
