[Closed] Pics of my 1:1 ( WARNING, Its not front wheel drive, and only gets 8 MPG) PICS

Nice....I really like those wheels what are they?

Thanks Randy, the wheels are "Crager" style American Racing Wheels...

Yep, sheesh, the only things it has going for it is that it's beautiful, fast, stylish and has good engineering sense for a well-balanced car ! Fine pictures of that gorgeous automobile.

Thanks Mike, ya wanna see it do a donut burnout? VIDEO

I had to break in my 4:56 gears and detriot locker, check it out

Excellent. I'll check it out ..... thanks !

This is my '93 and I get way better MPG. What you runnin'?

Why only 8 MPG? What did you do?

Nice Frank, LT1 powwa!!! I killed my MPG puttin' in 4:56 gears, detroit locker unit, chipped it which DUMPS fuel down, and the 160 degree thermo doesn't help either( Keeps motor in cold start mode, but better power), slp coated headers (but the headers probably help the fuel economy), but thats enough about economy, lets go do some burnouts!!!

Please read reply to Frank

How are you doing the fuel mileage calculation?

Unless you recalibrated for the rear end change, your fuel mileage may not be what you think it is. Also if your car has an 'electronic mileage guage', tuners can screw up fuel mileage calibration (don't ask how I know this!).

I bought the Hypertech tuner download for the gear change, it lets you calculate for gears all the way up to 5:80, it also calculates for different wheel sizes. As well a 25 horse gain, 160 degree fan turn on, quicker shift points for auto trans (mines a six speed, I would never drive an auto) and other little various perks, its a nice thing for computer controlled hotrods. I atribute my low MPG's for the low gears, the detroit locker unit, the 160 thermo, and the way I drive of course.

That's a nice Firebird! I had a 1994 Callaway Camaro with their SN450 motor.

Loved that car! Won a few Super Chevy Show awards (one first in class) in its day. Then I bought a 2003 Mustang Cobra. With a few motor mods (ported blower, smaller pulley, tune, intake and exhaust) it made 504rwhp. Ran 11.4 @ 124 in the 1/4. And with all that power I got 16-17mph average in the city. Best car I ever owned. 🙂

THX Benjamin. I did a few mods:

K&N FI Perf Kit, Stage-3 Surge-O2 Chip Combo, 160 thermo, 3:73 rear. Only run this baby on occasion, it's an original '93 buy and I'm keepin' it.

My current ride is...

2008 CTS 3.6L DI 304HP AWD FE2 Suspension, plus all the Lux.

I know, I know it's an old man's ride (hmmm... am I old yet?)

Yes sir, fine choices for both rides.
