If I was looking for a efficient car I would of bought a phucking prius. That is a dumb metric for a SPORTS car!

Is this a sports car- Y

Enough room to put a helmet on- Y
Does it ride like a merc- N
Does it scare women a children- Y
Is it gas efficient- N

Alright, all that other crap C&D usually test's for doesn't matter.

fixed the order =P

but seriously... volumetric efficiency? shouldn't we be a higher efficiency ratio compared to lets say... a mustang? less space = less dead weight = higher efficiency... then again it depens what they define it as.

i like to WOT and redline and squirt about a doller worth of gas everytime i launch.

maybe that's why i was at 16l/100km prior to parking...

( Click to show/hide )
i was running under 13/100 prior to intake installation
