Yeah, I was driving the HELL out of the little car!!! LOL! The previous owner did NOT tune it up at all it seems... I drove it to my parents house and my dad and I tuned it up and it ran much better so maybe the gas mileage will get better... Little sucker has plenty of gas pedal left at 95 - 100 mph it seems though!...
You should see better gas mileage then, especially keeping your foot out of it. Damn, Shannon.....I've never had mine over 85mph yet (jealousy). I'm sure in stock form, these cars will go well over 100mph though. Have to admit....it gets a little exciting when you put it in 4th gear....you know the car is really going to move at that point!
Hee Hee.. And remember the front end pics of the car... No grill, bent hood that is strapped down!..etc.. But, I HAD to see what a 'flying shoe' feels like at 100mph! Interestingly, at like 80mph if I downshifted to 4th gear it seems to labor to get up to 100... But, if I just accelerated while in 5th gear at 80mph if felt like it's saying, "Oh, you want to play?... Well, let's do this thang"!
(I guess it has something to do with the gear ratios for 4th and 5th and the power curve of the engine at those speeds.)
I wouldn't say the stock build is "fast" at 80 - 100, but it is "spirited" and a heck of a lot of fun...
