O yeah say bye to your Gas milage, i get like 10 with 3.73's. And im installing 4.56's right now as i type this. Just to see how much fun it will be/cost
wow.....you must have a lead foot


Mysteed has a built 3.8M112/4r70w with 3.73's, he gets 17-18/22-24 still, with a light foot.

he probably drives with a real heavy foot. i would too, with 3.73 gears. ah, cant wait to get my build done.

I drive with a heavy foot 1/2 the time, and still don't get that horrible with the A4.

Wow that soo bad, when I had my v6 with 4.10's and flooring it at atleast once every other stoplight I would still average 17 mpg. Until I blew up my diff and was forced to get a v8

We don't like v8's go back to the v8 section[8D]

Its more like 15 But that is a lie, he doesn not get that. Yes in some cases s/c can increase mpg, but its pretty much impossible in a mustang. 17-18 is what a stock V6 gets in the city. I Get on it like once every time i fill my tank, rest of the time i keep it under 2200.
