So how much for the Z06?
So how much for the Z06?
It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.
If I had another garage bay and more access to help, I very likely would have. 10yrs ago, It would have taken $40k to make me part with it... but then I realized it was better to let someone take it who would appreciate it, than for me to sit on it (granted it was in the best storage you can do, short of a personal…
LOL. I totally appreciate old cars, but don’t have the drive to put the effort into working on them all the time. I enjoy driving and using them much more than working on them :D The Bullitt, while isn’t as cool in any way as the 66, starts and drives every time, gets 20mpg, and is relible. I say that, the 66 was…
Not exactly. I took a worn out 302 bottom end that had light blow by, bearings that were shot, and was already bored .060 which is more than any 302 should go. I also wanted ~20mpg and to cruise at 80mph, intead of 10mpg @ ~4,250rpms at 80mph. My long term plan at that time was to track it (road course) on occasion plu…
I can’t thank my grandma (RIP) enough for spoiling me in high school and purchasing this fine 66 Fastback when I was 16. Part of it was to remember my grandpa who pasted a way 2 yrs prior, where we had talked about restoring/working on an old car for years, and partly because I wanted a “fast” car to learn mechanics on…
Wow, Porsche really is burning to go after Ferrari and Lamborghini

The V60 wagon is such a good looking car, I think better looking that the V90 even. As a bonus, I think the size would be much more appropriate for me as well, I prefer smaller & midsize. This interior is just icing on the cake!
FWD vs. AWD
Yes and no. In 75k miles, I have learned that if I truly baby it, I can squeak out say 20. Normal driving with my heavy foot is 18. I’ll take that trade off to save my sanity (driving slow drives me NUTS) and get to places timely. Though as my other posts mention, if the car was primarily on the highway/interstate its…
I hear you on that. While I do drive pretty hard, the shocking thing is that 14.9 was after 1.5 tanks and I was NOT intentionally trying to make it that low. It was also after I just drove 40miles round trip on the highway. While the 1.5 tanks was mostly in town driving, I am afraid to know what it would be if I gave…
Not bad. I think the best we have EVER got in ours is 28 pure highway and under 70mph. 27 for sustained 100% highway at around 75mph. Normally it’s about 24ish for longer drives.
Maybe :)
Nothing wrong, it’s always been low since new. Common complaint on the Sport for most everyone. There is always the outlayer that says he gets 27 but most get low 20s. For the first year my wife commuted 60 miles a day on the Interstate, every fillup was dead on 22.X. I forgot what X was now, but I think it may have…
