17.4 for me, but its half city half highway. I've stated before that those fuel cleaning things really did help me.

I don't practice 60' much anymore, more like practice getting good MPGs. Guess that's why I was able to get 35 combined in a Cobalt that is rated 34 HWY. Hey, I turn 40 this month, almost got the racing out of my system.

I deleted the mufflers and kept the resonator.

I'll shoot some video after we get the snow out of here.

The cops and ricers never bother us, either. I think it's because they don't know what the car is, as I've totally debadged it, except for the gold bowtie on the decklid.
