Okay well just got back from a 200 mile beach trip. Damnit i love this car. At least 10 people gave me compliments too. My only concern is the MPG. Holy cow this thing will drink it. But its certainly not gonna be driven that much all the time so no biggy.

The car drove so well at 70-80mph but what got me was that i can get into my 5spd vert and hit 70 and my RPM is at 3100. In my Shinka i am in 6th gear at 70 and it as almost at 4000. So i know the gear ratio is lower wich will decrease the MPG but i am also figuring that with the new side ports that it also plays a factor. I just thought it would get better gas mileage and so far that is my only concern with the car.
Otherwise its so nice and drives like a true sports car. I have seen severl threads where people have stated that there MPG got better as time passed. I just turnrd 300 miles on her so i will wait and see. Until then the beer money wil be for gas!

heh. mine is a lowly silver auto with high miles and in need of a little attention and cleaning so I have not taken any pics...but I got it for a steal and don't owe a dime on it, which is more than most could say about their '8. :D
