My old ‘01 GTP got 30 mpg highway easily with a tune and an exhaust. The mileage was actually very impressive for what it was. That’s all the archaic 4 speed slushbox was good for, thing purred at 1500 rpm cruising at 75.

Funny thing is... the whole Alpha male thing is a myth, based upon a debunked and defunct scientific theory.

Don’t forget GM put wider front tires (compared to the rears) on the Pontiac. Quite a unique feature due to the FWD problem they had going on.

LOL...limp-wristed men. Someone’s low-T projection is showing. Archie Bunker called and wants his schtick back.

Ol’ DannyBoy...the pipes, the pipes are calling. And they’re telling you to fuck off.

...the contemporary Toyota Camry at least had five gears.

The Carolina Reaper and the ghost pepper are not the same thing. They are related, but Carolina Reapers are about 50% hotter than ghost peppers.

I like to grow my own pepper plants, but I’ve given up on growing anything hotter than habaneros. It seems as if as people cultivate plants with hotter and hotter fruits, the plants become more and more fragile. Past couple of years I’ve grown both jalapeno and habanero plants; the jalapenos start producing usable…

It’s almost like that’s what they were satirizing.

Of all the odd things that I can rattle off quickly without thinking, “State County Municipal Offender Data System” is definitely high on the list.

So, it’s only bad if you have to slip the clutch? If you’ve got a high-torque engine, start in whichever gear you want. Also, a lot of vehicles (trucks, jeeps, etc.) 1st gear isn’t really meant to drive on the street, as it’s way too low.

Makes sense, but in the real world use my 4.27 1st and 4.18 final drive makes this difficult.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I can’t imagine how much I’ve spent in RTV, Spray paint and fluids to keep my 30 Roadster going. But I do know I’ve spent more in oil than gasoline. In 4 years its never gone a full tank of gas with out something spewing somewhere.

Oh god. What have I done?!

I’m in the “not my problem” camp. I wonder how considerate Peanut Allergy Mom is when it comes to making sure that she doesn’t leave any soy, egg, pollen, etc allergens around for everyone else’s kids who could possibly have reactions to THOSE allergens, or does her concern end precisely where her own problems do?

I can understand both sides. If you’re the parent of a kid with a peanut allergy (or other severe allergy to a very common thing), I’m sure that’s difficult. You have to work hard to protect your kid, whom you presumably love very much, and it can sometimes feel like the rest of the world is out to get you. I imagine…

It just like any spec series, see what modifications aren’t explicitly banned, and compete on skill. Skill tends to come into play more when cars are pushing 4-digit horsepower numbers.

Sorry, I thought the point was to either compare stock to stock or modified to modified. I’m sure you can modify the cobra jet and maybe do the same time as the COPO

This is 95 RON, which is not the same as 95 AKI (which is the system we use in the US). 95 RON is like 90-91 AKI, so we’d actually be getting a lower grade than current premium.
