Hey,

just curious to see how much the hood cost to get repainted ?

I just got my front bumper & right side panel redone....and asked how much to paint my hood at the same time. It was like $ 350.00.

So I'm looking into a CF hood, because for the cost it seems like I could get a Cf hood for half of what I'd pay for a repaint that would only last about a year or so.

On the dash computer, I average 32mpg on the highway. Highest I got was 38.6. Am I doing something wrong here? I average around 26-29 in the city.

I shift @ 3k.

$100 says nobody has gotten better gas mileage than this.

Prove me wrong.

Remember the last time you bet money that no 350Z with the DE engine had less than $4-5K in mods that ran low 13s and how there were multiple Z owners that fit that description (I have < $1K in power mods)?

Yeah, I wouldn't bet so easily. Let me prove you wrong again. You can get better gas mileage than that (I've gotten much much higher). All you have to do is go up to a real high velocity (e.g., 120mph), then coast just as you reset the gas mileage meter. After about 30 seconds, it'll read an extremely high mpg number with a high avg. mph. You really want to make that bet (again)?

Lol. Yes I did make that comment to the DE owners. I guess I should have rephrased myself when challenging them. They had the benefit of having drag radials involved. I should have known they could achieve faster times easily with drag radials, and they're not expensive at all.

And on the gas mileage, lol, are you saying that I did that coasting stuff? I can assure you I did not. I did not know that the mpg read high when you coasted.

I still think its great gas mileage for a sports cars.

Haha, when I saw that (drag racing stuff), I had to say something.

If you weren't coasting, then those are all highway mpg (which is still ridiculously high). The highest I've gotten on the highway (without cheating) was a 33.x mpg @ 6x mph. Mixed driving, I get about 23 - 24 mpg.

So, if I went out right now did the coasting thing and gave you a number higher than the shown in your pic above, do I get a $100?

I will tell you something else too. I was going downhill on the 34.5mpg picture...but I wasn't coasting.



But the 31.1mpg was done on the level surface of I-10.
