    I can't wait to get a 5.0 foxbody someday. Fucking gas prices......

    I'd prefer an SVO if I could get my hands on one though.

    acccctually. the 5.0's get fairly decent gas mileage if you have one hooked to a T5. i have a buddy that gets 18-22 out of his and its mildly built.

    18-22? Are you being serious?




    I get 30mpg CITY while still playing around with the throttle... and can possibly run 13s

    That still doesn't make it good gas mileage.

    My dad's 540 camaro can get like 2mpg, which is bad compared to the 4mpg of the chevrolet 572 crate motor... that doesn't make 4mpg good.

    If you have an engine that big, you OBVIOUSLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT MILEAGE. ooooh your car gets 30mpg and runs the 1.4 in "maybe 13." Big fucking deal.

    Next time you should try to keep up with the conversation and make relevant points. You are commenting on a single point in a larger argument and you don't even have a point except to be derogatory.

    FAIL.

    OK, SO ONE PERSON HAS A 1996 HONDA CIVIC, SWAPPED WITH A B16. YES, HE CARES ABOUT HIS GAS MILEAGE. THIS CAR GETS ABOUT 24MPG. OMG, YES, HE CARES ABOUT GAS MILEAGE, YES IT'S GETTING ABOUT NORMAL GAS MILEAGE. THE OTHER PERSON HAS 1996 CIVIC WITH A B16 AND DOESN'T REALIZE IT, BUT HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A HEAVY, BUT HE CARES ABOUT GAS MILEAGE. HE GETS 23MPG. 24MPG OF THE FIRST CAR... ISN'T THAT GOOD WHEN THERE'S CIVICS OUT THERE GETTING 40MPG. CATCH MY DRIFT? NO? NOT SURPRISING. ONE GUY HAS $100,000, HELL YEA THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT IS IT A LOT OF MONEY COMPARED TO THE DOUCHE WITH 100,000,000? HELL NO.


    OMG, IT'S NOT THAT HARD OF A CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND, GENIUS.
