Hey, now you can afford more upgrades!

audiobliss · November 2005

That's great! Maybe I'll notice a proportionate reduction in price next time I fill up.

BIZILL, what're you driving that they want you to use premium?

'94 z-28 camaro with a tired engine. fuc* it, i've used 89 octane vs. 91/92 for months with no noticable degradation in performance whatsoever. that is not to say i might not be doing harm to the engine and/or emmissions.

audiobliss · November 2005

I would imagine that after 11 years of wear and tear (hey, you did say you beat on it

), the octane difference would be the least of your worries performance wise. I also don't personally see why 87 octane would hurt the engine, but then I'm not familiar with it. Just out of curiousity, what's the compression ratio in it?

BIZILL · November 2005

supposed to be 10:1. anyway, after the neutral drops and brake stands and things of this sort, you're correct in your assessment of my ocatane performance being the least of my concerns. :rolleyes:

See there's the main problem with your Z-28..........it's a freakin automatic. :eek:
Blasphemy, I tell ya!!!!! If I'm gonna have a Mustang, Camaro, Vette, or any type of sports car or sporty car, it better have a manual tranny in it. :cool:

Greedy ****!!!

BIZILL · November 2005

i was young and that was the car that had been made possible for purchase. regretted not gettin' the six speed ever since!!! in retrospect, i did hand asses to many a six speed z-28.

Driver · November 2005

Wow $1.99 per gallon, I pay $1.48 (nz) per Liter, it costs a fortune to fill up my old merc. since the rise in prices i tend not to fill up so much, but last time i filled the merc it was $110, too much

ND13 · November 2005

What's $110 nz in US $$s???

audiobliss · November 2005

What kind of Merc ya got? (Somehow I always manage to end up talking about cars.....:D)

No offense, but they musta not known how to power shift or handle that 6er, stick z28 shoulda stomped an equal auto, although you can't shift faster then a automatic

Driver · November 2005

I Have an old '78 123 series its a 250 straight 6, and the price of fuel in us dollars (to fill) is a whopping $76

audiobliss · November 2005

Ahh. My '95 Cherokee has a 4.0L inline 6. Costs me about $50 about once a week to fill up.

i never said i was stock.

naw, just some basics: k&n intake system, eibach, firmness adjustable shocks, msd ignition, hypertech programmer (which even gives option for firmer and quicker shifting) and, oh, yeah, headers. all with 3.23 gears paired to a 4 speed automatic.

now had i had the six speed, yes, i'd have been better off. i believe stock, the sixes come with 3.73 gear ratio.

Wooohoooo!!!!!
