    Somehow we seem to be getting well screwed....... don't get me started on gas prices... I will get banned from here.... I hear you load and clear Phil and I really feel you ( our ) pain..... and yeah a V12 Jag is on my list too...... so.... I was feeling a bit crappy from a lousy week losing my precious Beagle..... I needed to clear my head and today is a really nice day...................... so I took the Tahoe out for a rattle............... there is a real good road I take the Corvette on, smooth and real curvy ............... I had some good old 60's rock and roll on, and I was slicing through 60 km curves at 90 like nothing...... it was unreal... I have Magnetic Ride Control on it ( factory Chevrolet Corvette suspension ) which I have on both my Corvettes....... that 5000 pound truck corners like it's on rails ! AND to top it of I was getting a consistent 10L/100 km ( what ever that is, but it isn't bad) I took a pic of it on my phone to show my buddy........it sounded cool too, with the Borla exhaust.... just sayin

    Yeah, and tire pressures, easy on the throttle, don't dive into corners, not on the gas on the brakes like I see lot do.... etc, etc, etc, BUT the ONE thing going against you is the CITY driving, that is a killer, if you get that hot rod out into Wild Rose Country for a good spin, I bet your mileage will go way up..... most of my driving is NOT city driving and that is HUGE.... take that puppy on a road trip..... LOL YES AFM ( active fuel management) is incredible, absolutely seems less, and my exhaust doesn't sound like a tuner either

    I'm kind of not a metric guy....... how long has it been?? LOL... My new Tahoe shows me at a consistent 11L/100 with a best at 9.2L/100...... not too bad for a 5000 lb truck I'd say................ do you think the 342 rear end, High PerfCold air induction and the Borla exhaust might be part of those good numbers? I do....

    It is an unpopular myth these days Phil, and that is what REALLY Pi$$es me off, when every thing over here is called a "Gas Guzzler" my new Tahoe goes into 4 cylinder mode when the 8 cans are not needed....... but yes my '03 is my economy car, and a buddy in Washington State, has an '03 Corvette Z06, LS 3 engine and he consistently gets 34 - 36 mpg on the highway..... I've seen the data it's true.....

    GEEZ................... 14 bucks to ship it to Canada ! so much for that idea................. thanks Sluggo, I will sniff around for it....
  8. Jeff
    Phil................. actually, my 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette is my 'economy' car I can easily glean 34 mpg with it, as long as I am not punching the throttle and blasting around.... the new gen engines are incredible.... I can't really speak for the 302 ( old school ones I can ) and I know that the new Ford Coyote engine will tear your shorts off, it is so powerful, and it does get good mileage...so I am told..... but I DO know about Chevy LS engines, and they are incredible...................... bullet proof too... this pic is NOT my engine but identical, mine would NEVER be so filthy....

    Not IF he was making a tight turn at high speed and had the farts.............................. just a random thought........................

    I had NO idea about that Carl.............. no kidding, that would be a rocket ship on wheels !

    When you guys say Miata, this is what I think of... see what I mean by ' soft '

    With design ( and I know NOTHING about it) there seems to be a lot of tech, that needs to be incorporated with aesthetics, like the C-8 Corvette, some of those scoops and cooling gills look cool, BUT also perform a function for cooling the engine, brakes etc....that is where design gets really difficult, in my eyes anyway....to try and incorporate the functionality with good looks..... sometimes it can be an epic fail and others an epic success...... again on the new C-8 , the door handles, hidden, yet functional....................... and there is 10,000 other things..... not sure I'd be up to the task...... BUT I do know what I like and what I don't like..... and that is what makes the world round....

    I bet they would have climbed trees if they had welded grousers on the wheels.....

    Ron...................................... how strong are your glasses?????????????????I have to admit, the valve stems look really cool.....and it is the little details like that , that make ALL the difference

    I could be , although I must confess, I really don't look for them, although that is changing somewhat as a good buddy from work has one, to which I would ' guess ' as I don't know is a first gen? It is very round and soft, almost like a jelly bean , a little roadster with 1/2 an engine ( 4 cyl ) the guys at work teased him ( NOT ME ) that it was a girls car..... but he likes it and asks me all sorts of questions about convertible top care and paint care etc....it's an older ride, black with a saddle interior. It is starting to show it's age , but he and his girlfriend took it on a long trip into the USA just a few weeks ago, and had a blast...... with 1/2 and engine, probably didn't buy a whole lot of gas either........................but they had fun and that's what it's all about especially going topless !

    OH................. ok, I keep forgetting we can fiddle with stuff, BUT I WAS going to say, wow good job........ ........................ BUT....wow good job, the profiles you have 'adjusted' are really good...... thanks for being honest, you could have said you did them and I probably wouldn't have known otherwise...

    Did you draw those?
  22. Jeff
    No kidding, ours seem a little 'soft' compared to this eh??
  23. Jeff
    NICE ride................. mama will look good wearing this !!!! LOVE the color......
  24. Jeff
    I'm lucky............... I'm more than happy with what I have and I don't need the newest and bestest.................. so in my case, I'm good with what ever they charge, I probably won't be ordering one .................. very soon anyway......................... BUT yes you are right all the add on stuff, and in MY case I MUST pay the BC Provincial sales tax and it is 15% here because the car is over 50 k, so there is a LUXURY tax, of 15%.....................on ANY vehicle that is over 50k............... not many these days that aren't, so yes that will ad a few Looners to the bottom line.....
  25. Jeff
    Actually for under 60k, that is the performance deal of the century............ although for me the jury is still out on the styling................. just me though....
