    I got 18mpg driving 1200 miles back from atlanta when I originally bought the car.
    Never really checked mpg after that.

    And saying an auto is no fun on the street is wrong. With this much power traction is the only issue and a stick would make it that much harder.

    315 35 17's bfg dr's.

    Speedo seems to work good.

    Remember I do have a gear vendor on the end though(like high low in dump truck). I actually used the gear vendor on top end of track. It's supposed to be good up to 1200 rwhp.
    I can give you more info on how the gear vendor works if you want. It wasn't cheap but the car is so street friendly it's scary.

    No not rich. Just wasn't about to pay 1 g to get car shipped and not be street friendly when for 3 g's it would be perfect!!!

    I wish I was rich.

    I hear you on killing clutches. Now I have a Strong clutch and it is killing the next weak link.

    I am waiting until after the holidays and then I am going to get some pricing from PSR on the 4r70 and make a decision on which direction I will go.

    I am going to pull the tranny as soon as my frickin jaw heals. I can't wait to see that output shaft.
