Default got a new DD

got a new truck last week...but didnt get around to posting it.....its kicked the **** out of my WS6...the truck is a hoss. I was tired of getting 115-125 miles out of a full tank of gas in the WS6, so i bought me a 02 ford ranger. It has 24,000 miles, 4 banger, 5 speed, and pretty clean...got a good deal on it too. Woohoo...now the trans am can stay in the garage and not rack on the miles, and can stay clean.

Did you just say it kicked the **** out of your ws6? Like as in you raced them and the truck won?

What in the hell is done to your trans am that you are getting 125 mpg in your ws6? I ran straight headers for a week and I still got 180 miles on the tank.
