Good luck with the TL
I would have gotten a TL if I could have found a type s 6mt. They are nowhere to be found in FL.
Yeah gas sucks. I'm getting about 14mpg if I granny drive. About 13 when I don't.

You have a lightly modded RT....how the hell did you manage that? Driving at 80mph in 3rd gear the whole time????

When my car was stock with a tune I was avging 22-24mpg combined....now with all my mods in getting 16-20mpg combined

22-24 in a car that gets nailed with the guzzler tax doesn't sound normal to me. Sh*t...I get 21 if I'm lucky in my TL.

The SRT got nailed with a gas guzzler, not the RT.

What mods did you have? Auto tranny? The SRT is supposed to do better than that.

Yeah...and you know I have WAY more done to my car...but I also have the 6psd


The only time I achieved 9-10mpg was when I was the track WOT and 3rd gear all the time.

Didn't know it was the SRT, thought it was all models.

Maybe the tune (or detune)?

Well that's one way to fix your gas mileage problem. Really nice pickup though, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Awesome car...love it in white. Check out Nexson and Blackura and Petetl for some ideas. (sorry, off memory, might be missing some other 4G pioneers).

I sure will...at this point, you should just have links to your previous car build threads!

Dude, it kills me...I still occasionally see my blaze orange metallic RSX-S. the dude that bought it lives one exit south of me.

Funny...I found this by chance...clicked on it by sheer curiosity...and then I realized it was when I saw the painted lip. And then the challenger script on the taillights you swapped out.

no price though. curious about that.

That car looks so "right" lowered like that...it's really a shame about the MPG. This would be my number one contender for American muscle otherwise.

Hahaha...something about the raw feeling

SF was good...very similar to last year but larger, more organized I think.

Scroll down the page, and I made a thread some pics.

Yeah...Ive had those white patches the last few years...they are getting bigger, but I've also grown my goatee thicker, so it does send out more.

I'm an old man, what do you want
