| Description |
My daily driver, has the 3.0 V6 and manual trans swap, plus aero mods and a few other things. Factory Cd is a miserable 0.4 so I should have lots of room for improvement. Since graduating college, I am now driving a 12 mile commute with 14 traffic lights. Learning the light timing has allowed me to keep beating the new EPA highway number in combined driving and keep the trans in top gear.
EPA ratings are the new estimate with automatic trans (ie: as my car left the factory)
Ratings for the 5-sp are +1 on highway and combined (technically that is for the coupe since the sedans never got a 5-sp option)
old rating with automatic was 20/28 |
