Cool. Not something you see everyday (well not for me, but others). Not a fan of the colour, but it looks like a pro installation. I see lots of similarities to mine.

Well he does have a K&N filter and a performance chip, so I guess he isn't far off the mark. Gotta post that 200 if you can when selling a car! I'd settle for the 190 in mine!

Really looking forward to seeing your car in person on the 30th. I find the conversion cabs really cool!

gorgeous car. Petty got to be running one horny setup. if i drive slow and no trucks, maybe 27, 28. driving faster, it falls off quick. depending on the mood (and how close i get to the backs of the faster 18 wheelers), it can go as high as 33 or 34 mpg.

You gotta love the draft. I used to do it in an old '72 vw bus I had when younger. Never realized how dangerous it was (I was INVINCEABLE) lol

Yup

For about a year I had a 60+ minute commute to work with my 944S. 75mph, set the cruise control. I was averaging 30-32mpg.
