@yowen: It amazes me more when I tell people "If I can't drive the Vette in it, I probably shouldn't be driving anyway. Just stay home."

@eforeal: Yeah, I got a whole 2-3 MPG out of that. No, it's modified for speed, efficiency just comes with it. Stock, before I did anything, I'd get 32-33 at 65. Lighter wheels for lower mass, and a CF driveshaft because I bent the stock one.
@expat_brit: Yeah, my comment was more meant to poke fun at the people that believe AWD will make them uncrashable.
@eforeal: Sorry, you must not have driven a Z06. Why does everyone have such a hard time with this? At 65 mph it's turning under 1800 RPM, with a .29 CD, a small CSA, and a very efficient engine. Yes, it gets 35 MPG, yes, I can get nearly 600 miles to a tank. Not 650, since I can't actually drive for that long and…
Anyone else hope the busdriver yelled "Everyone to the left side! NOW!"?
Apparently AWD FTL...
@Death By Cornbread: Ok, THAT was good!
Probably the same things that happens when you drop 1,500 lbs of anything on a Camaro...
@eforeal: Sorry, yes, it does. I get 32.5 cruising at 75 MPH, 35 at 65 MPH. 6 speed, .5 final drive FTW. Sorry if you don't believe me, but you're wrong.
@John Krewson: Heh! Thanks!
Hearts and rainbows!!!
@RocketScientist needs a new tagline: You know, it's funny. I technically fit, but I couldn't get the seat into a comfortable ergonomic position.
@eforeal: I have an 02 Z06 that'll hit 180 without sweating, roll down to 65 and get 35 MPG, looks better, is faster, easier to work on, and fits. Plus, it has a real gearbox. Still not impressed.
@tonyola: Well, maybe it should be!
@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: But, I mean, IT'S A CAMRY! You can balls up the engine to a gazillion percent better than it was factory, and it's still in a Camry, which is in no way equipped to deal with being a sleeper. It's just not physically possible. It's like giving my house cat crack and expecting him…
@John Krewson: Dude, haters gonna hate!
@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: What, the dude was asleep when he made the decision to buy all those parts?
@loquaciousmusic: I have never been able to have a comfortable seating position in a VW. Ever. From my brother's 80's crapbox Fox to today's bloated CC. I think VW hates really tall people.
@John Krewson: Meeeeeehhhh. To me it looks like a melted Merc CLS. Just not an attractive car. Plus, it's a VW, which instantly excludes it from any list.
