Default Does Anyone Daily Drive w/ a T-Rex?

Does anyone daily drive with T-Rex? If you do, what do you have to compliment your set-up for the car to have good manners? What kinda gas mileage do you get? (I don't really give a sh t, I'm just curious )

Well I can tell you I am looking into a T-Rex for not exactly a daily driver, but a pretty often driver (ya that sounds ignorant as hell). I do know if you have a M6, you should really consiter 4.10's. That would help your cause a lot. Gas milage.......well don't count on anything great.

I have an M6 with all bolt on's cept an electric water pump. I have 4:10's (12 bolt) I have a 78mm LSX, but I'll replace the top shell when I have the cash. I just wanted to see if anyone ever takes it out cruising how the street manners are etc. I might have to drive it everyday untill I can get a new beater and the SS can sit.

First and Foremost, you need a good tune. That makes all the difference in the world. That and a gear is what you pretty much need to support the cam. I'm daily driving mine with 4.57's, I get about 12-13 mpg in the city and about 19mpg highway.
