Delivered my truck today… no more veggie beast. My Cobra was the chase car and return vehicle. On the way there we only burned 7 gallons of gas… and that included 1 lengthy traffic jam.

Didn’t do so well with the MPG on the way back… several triple digit blasts… and 2 fun races.

First victim was a new Camaro SS. He had no idea why his car wasn’t even trying to keep up.  
Second was one of the new supercharged Jaguars… I snuck up behind him and then proceeded to slowly pass him in the right lane… Once I got my door in front of his car he jumped on it. I slammed it back into 4th and got ahead of him before he even got even with my car… lol. He was a cool dude with a smoking hot wife. She was impressed :idhitit: … we did another pull a couple miles up and almost got busted. I think SUV cop knew better than to give chase.

Nice, sound like you’re having fun with it…

Replacing the truck?

Yup, a little over 22mpg @ 3k rpm

Seems like city and highway driving result in the same MPG… and those pulls used about a gallon per car 😉

I don’t know why my brother wasn’t taping them on his phone at least. I should have brought my cam though. Would have been fun.

Replacing the truck will happen soon enough… not sure what I’m doing yet.
