Problems
- Bought the car knowing it needed to have plenum walnut blasted, ended up costing around $2k to have it done
- After the walnut blasting, MPG and overall engine performance improved significantly (explaining the large MPG discrepancy above)
Notes
- Averaged 28-34 MPG in the city
- Averaged 38-46 MPG on the highway
- Extremely fun car to drive. Sounds like a school bus at idle.
- Pulls hard all the way to 130 MPH. (allegedly)
- Has more torque at 1000 RPM than a Ferrari 458 does at it’s peak.
- Even the Michelin Pilot Super Sports with 275 section rear tires weren’t quite enough tire from a standing stop. Great tires overall though, I highly recommend them.
