1.) How many miles do you put on your car per month? (same as poll)
100ish

2.) How many days a week roughly do you drive it?
1 or 2 days per week, if it's running correctly. The turbo kit is falling apart. Hell, the whole car is falling apart.

3.) Type of car
99 camaro v6 turbo

4.) Which Engine
3.8L v6

5.) Which FI kit
custom made

6.) What Transmission
T5

7.) What type of driving you mainly do with the car..
I drive it to work on fridays, or when my DD is outta gas. I take it to the track on friday nights twice a month or so.

8.) How many miles per year roughly do you put on your FI car?
less than 6000

9.) How often do you "get on it"? (times per month roughly)
Meh, pretty much only at the track anymore. As much as I love romping it, my insurance payment is finally less than 50% of my salary, and I like it.

10.) How much rwhp does your car have?
465 @ 17psi
