i'm moving soon to another town, and i'll be driving on the hwy twice every day and my gt does terrible on gas. im lucky to get 300 hwy miles to one tank.
so my fiance and i were talking yesterday and he suggested swapping an st motor into my car. is it hard? how's the wiring and all that crap? -------------------- |

What tire pressure are you keeping in them? Hauling anything around in the car with you? Any maintenance that could hinder gas mileage by casuing friction on the wheels (idk like wheel bearings, e-brake, etc) any mods to the car? tire pressure? i dunno, 32? whatever it says in the doorjamb. and no, i don't carry anything with me in the car, i never use my e-brake unless i'm parking, and wheel bearings, i have no idea. i'm getting my car serviced today by the best dealership in town to find out what's wrong with my gas mileage. but before they do anything they're calling me to tell me what it is, cause a lot of the time i can do it by myself or with my fiance's help. and it helps that i have a friend who works at the dealership i'm getting it serviced at, cause he can do it at my house then ^_^...

Who the heck would want to install something less in power for something that is already faster and stronger ? lol, i know i know, everyone thinks i'm an idiot already, i was just considering my options. -------------------- |
