Drove to Davenport Iowa today on business and got 340 on the tank. The light turned on at around the 315-320 mark and then I gased up a few miles later. Not bad considering the mods I have. I had the cruise set at 70-75 most of the way and got on it a few times. That's around 22 mpg's for a car that can run low 12's! Not as good as my Z06 on the highway but that was stick and had a 6th gear. I could get almost 30 mpg in the Z which is just insane considering it had the power it did.

Just thought I would share since there is gonna be a WHOLE CRAPLOAD of ya getting the intake/pulley combo soon.

BTW I average around 18 mpg in town...

 

That is good news. When I brought my SRT home from PA, I was only getting 20 mpg going 75-80 MPH.

 

Well then...I guess you just gotta let the ol SRT breathe a little!

 

Thanks for the constant feedback. I'm hesitant to mod my car, but you keep paving the way and reliability is still key. I don't drive as much as some of you and should be less worried. I inchin in to get the mod package from needswings. Thanks again.

I just hit 7,200 miles today...runs like a bat outta hell!

 

I keep going back and forth on whether to get a Z06 - any thoughts...?

 

If you're talking about one of the new Z06's, then by all means buy it if you can afford it. However, in my situation as a college student, I'm pretty stoked that I bought an SRT for ~ $20K and am putting about 3K into it and will get similar performance as a Z06. Not equal, but not justifying $50K more.

 

I had an '02 Z06 and it was one BADAS* car. It was definetly more comfy than the SRT and had lots more space inside the cabin. Stock it could run in the high 11's with DR's on back and MANY have done it. I ran 12.6@113 with Kumho tires stock. I got mine with only 19,000 miles on it for 24K. It all depends on what you like...the SRT is bada* and so is the Z06 vette.
