looking for a new DD and autox car

Rodney,

Are you sure you don't want to put a trailer hitch on the Bullitt and tow an F125 or FM? Overall cost would probably be less over a couple of years. :lol:

FYI: SCCA is likely to create a F500 type class (similar car size, etc.) but with 600 cc motorcycle engines. These will probably be GREAT autocross cars.

I got 27 mpg on one trip back from DC, running w/o AC and really feather footing it and generally trying to avoid sudden throttle position changes. (This is with 3.55 gears).

With Rodney's 3.73's I don't think it would be possible.

BTW -- my Garmin says that my speedo reads 2 mph high @ 75 (on OEM size/brand tires) so who really knows?

I have the same issue on mine, but most stock speedos are know to be less accurate the faster you go.

FYI our 97 Mustang speedo reads about 2 mph high at 60 - 70 mph per Garmin. My O1 and 12 are dead on accurate. I even double checked since traffic blows by me at an indicated 72 on I 40.

However, in the "old days" of mechanical odo's and/or speedo's the two might have different error rates.

So, are we going to start betting on when Rodney will be searching for a new car?

I'll take a bet on 10 months. That puts me at the end of autox season next year

Almost a 4x4. Those front wheels are being pushed, no action there.

ummmm, I'm thinking you can google bulllitt on the interweb and find all the pics you want. No plans to post pics. I am trying to come up w/ license plate though. Have a few in mind.
