Well it wasn't today (it was late last night), but I fueled up after a short road trip.

New personal best, 32.458MPG. Cruise set on 65mph, windows up and a/c on. If it was all flat ground instead of having to go over so many hills I probably could have gotten 35-36. My gauge was staying up around 35mpg until the hills. When I stopped to refuel the dash said 30.1mpg but I got 32.5 by the math.

And the EPA says Z's only get 26 highway.

Did alright. It was super hot.. around 90 degrees all day. I think 12s can happen on a cooler day. But my best run was a 13.06 @ 105.66 MPH. Vid and timeslip is in my gay little progress thread

I put test pipes on a while back but found them too loud.
I decided to add a resonator/muffler to see if it would quiet it a bit and get rid of the"rasp". The Cherry bomb #57822 fits in perfectly where the pipe merges to a single pipe. It is 12" long. it also presses on with just a few love taps.

just had z1 slave and wilwood master cylinder installed. Pretty amazing how much better the car drives. If you upgrade your clutch do this upgrade when you replace the clutch.

Just did my first modification to my 04'. Installed my MD 5/16th spacer...very happy. I'm still waiting for my ecu to adapt but I can tell its starting to liven up a bit. Next step, test pipes
