Not Ranked
A lot of you guys say you couldn't care less about the price of gas. The way I see it, if you're getting 10 mpg @ 60mph that's about $5.00 for every 10 mins of drive time. That's definitely getting up there in costs, and how long before gas hits the $ 6.00+/gal. mark?
I know it's utterly disgusting for most Cobra owners out there to use a non-Ford engine, but I have always done my "thing", and that's why I decided to use a LS7 motor. Stock ZO6's easily are getting 28mpg , and with my .64 o/d and 3:55 gears, I'm hoping to get at least 25mpg and that's going to help take the sting out of the high price of fuel.
