But then you loose your hwy mileage[&:]

 

dude the 2.3's already get excellent gas mileage, so everyone can sacrifice 5-10 mpg.[8D]

 

i wish i drove mine on highway more. i need to get that crap for cleaning my injectors.

 

4:10's might make it to where you can't drive fast enough for the interstate highways. If I was smarter I would do the math formula and find out

 

manualdrivetrains absorb 15% of engine power, autos absorb 25%.

 

well the top speed is like 110ish.

 

I think downhill with a good wind behind you a 2.3 can break 120

 

you will have to have a pretty good stretch for 110 i do believe.

 

yeah no joke. if their were no cars i could take it on one of the freeways and do it. but i'll prob never try to go top speed b/c i redlined the car in second gear once and the friggin heater hose sprung a leak.

 

Thats nothing, once I dropped off a friend of mine and as I left I punched it out on the road and brokea heater hose and steam poured out from under my car, he said it looked like I caught it on fire.
I have been past one of those "your speed is" signs on the road at 5:00 am and had it clock in at 108 with more to go
