haha, I suppose. I try not to beat on it at all, but I still go and screw around all the time anyways.

Like in this vid

YouTube - Mustang GT Burnouts

After that vid and a day before I was treating the car so badly. I stopped cause I just know it's gonna come back and bite me in the ass if I keep doing it.

LOL...NICE!!!! I see new tires and clutch in your future...

Me too, that's why about 2 burnouts after the vid I stopped. Can't keep doing that if I want the car to live long haha.

06, do yourself a favor and avoid burnouts on two seperate surfaces like you did the first one. Partially because if you groove the tire or anything passing over the transition area, your gonna be needing a replacement. You were sort of parallel there and a tire with that much wheel spin could get caught up by a piece of pavement and such. Secondly, Blacktop and concrete have different consistencies in terms of traction. The obvious is that if one gets traction over the other, your carrier/tlok ain't gonna last long.

emay you are one smart mf, or osmf if you pref.

I have 4.10s in my ride... last week drove to the track...mostly highway... made 4 runs... went on a 40 mile rescue mission (long story) on 2 lane back roads.... made 3 more runs... filled up.. 17.5 mpg! I was impressed!

tribaltek · June 18th, 2008, 01:02 PM

The moral of the story is...

4.10's FTMFW!!!

Seriously though... freakin' get them. They're more than worth it!!!

tribaltek · June 18th, 2008, 06:12 PM

I drove 70mph on the way home today - 24.2mpg. So 10mph means a 3mpg difference with my car.

shawn13 · June 18th, 2008, 06:27 PM

DAMN Im happy when I get 19mpg

101fng · June 18th, 2008, 07:31 PM

i think there's a sticky in the 99-04 section about there being no difference in MPG when switching gear ratios.

tribaltek · June 18th, 2008, 07:53 PM

There is for sure a difference, but it's not a HUGE difference like some people think.

Audio_Orphan · June 18th, 2008, 08:42 PM

I put the Steeda CAI, SCT 91 Tune, Steeda UDP and only get 24.6 mpg.... I guess I need to supercharge it

fdjizm · June 24th, 2008, 07:25 AM

Here is what im getting driving 60-70mph for about 10 miles...

(26.4) went up to 27.something when i was coasting from 60mph to the exit..

forensicsteve · June 24th, 2008, 08:04 AM

Took car on a very rare highway trip last friday. Actually furthest car has been driven nonstop in over a year. Went about 18 miles each way. I do drive the speed limit when in traffic and maybe even 5 miles below when noone behind. I was monitoring the oil temp gauge mostly, but noticed at about 55 mph, rpms were about 1700 and mpg was 28. something.

Have 4.10 gears, 76mm turbo, stage II heads/cams, and 3 speed race automatic, but was in overdrive (4th gear). Could hear a little bit of whine from the turbo but boost must have been minimal...couple of pounds...maybe less.

I know you weren't asking me, but I'm a pic whore.

Depending on traffic, I set my cruise control at 125-130mph.
