Someone has some serious ‘splainin to do! What’s with this little guy?Click the image to open in full size.

Did you have a BSFC leak that day? I mean hell I got 4.6 driving 80mph with lots more horsepowers and a less than aerodynamic load. I can get that easy with my 50’ 108” wide 4 axle rail car. Your going to lose your cool points with the Kevin Rutherford groupies you keep that chit up!

I like to strike a happy medium. I have to enjoy what I’m doing and I can’t do that in a fleet spec 400hp pos. I’ve done it and hated every minute of it.

That's where I'm at, if I don't enjoy driving it, then what's the point? Also, if .1 mpg makes or breaks me, then it's time to get out.

Yes sir. This one. I haven't looked real closely yet. What I gather it leaks around the boot badly.
