Automatic, Cammed, 4:10s, worked heads, full exhaust and tuned, I still get over 20 highway... city, only checking it once was like 16... your right foot is your enemy lol
my car with stock gears but tuned with full exhaust got 28 highwayand 21 city... and that's averaging 80 for 3 hours straight.
a relatively stock (at the time) autotragic v6 with 4:10s and 275s on the back? I didn't even launch it much lol, it kept 'breaking' spider gears for some reason. problem solved now though

I have a 2012 V6 3.7ltr, with a Cold Air Intake, BBk Long Tube Headers, Xpipe, Magnaflow exhaust, new lower control arms, upgraded to 3.73 gears, with a Ford Racing Limited Slip Differential and beat a new stock 2012 5.0 GT off the line to the next stop light. And roasting tires is NOT a problem.
Welcome to the forum.

Second, No matter the LCA's and the adjustments, when you want to roast tires, you can!
Third, we raced three times. I ROASTED him all three times. Could be the driver, or it could be the 320 rwhp I am putting down. Who knows. Just felt good is all. Made me feel like my investment and time was worth it. And, thank you for your acknowledgement. I am glad to be here.

Actually, yes and no. First, he did know that we were racing and it was on a back road. Safety first!

HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT ....
im lucky for 20 and only 3.73s ...
Which im pretty sure my dyno tune is pouring in fuel like a diesel ...
When I get my stall in im gonna take it to dyno to adjust shift points and get a DD tune w/ better mpg. And a seperate race tune... 19-20 mpg sucks
