i use premium anyways, sure it’s a few dollars more in the end, but it’s better for your motor and you get a little extra pep outa the car. we already pay up the ass for gas, whats a few more dollars right!! ---

Pretty much, thats my opinion but some people don’t see it that way. Some people just plain don’t have the money too. ---

lol, o well someone has to buy the cheap gas or they wouldn’t make it!!! i get my gas at CT u get 7 cents on the litre or something like that, i put in 45 and get back a couple bucks in CT money. with that CT money u can buy a gift card and then go buy gas with the gift card. it’s like free gas for buying gas. so really, puttin in the premium at CT, they give u the cost of the premium back(pretty much). let it build up and u got a free tank!! fyi. if ppl can afford to run v8’s in there cars, have at it!! u’ll pass everything but the gas station!! ---

actually the Ls1 is better on fuel than my turbo 4cyl this season…i up installing a Kazz 1.5 way diff, and 17x10 with 315’s on the rear , and 17x9 and 275’s up front… ran some 12.9’s last year for fun…with no traction…so it has high 11’s in it…not that I drag race at all… but it shows the performance potential on the Ls1…in a bone stock format… light car…big engine… is teh way to do it 🙂 ---

hmm, with a 276/40/17 tire in 5th at 6500 says you would be doing 160-170? seems a little high… what size tire you running? if this is true and the motor is stock you have a serious combo there… ---

I was on 245/50/16 tires…last year I know I was going way over 230kph since I passed a Benz AMG 500 going 230kph (after lapping I asked him how fast he was going on the back straight since he had a working speedo…he he now thats a crazy car…he had 3 passengers) and was going 230 🙂 ) so it was over 230kph for sure I could have grabbed 6th gear…but I was more worried about slowing down at the end to make the next corner…plus I was just testing the car out and breaking the engine in anyway… with the new diff and way bigger tires I should get a way better launch off 5b this year…and the engine is broken in now ---
