American Cars (Lilred/Phoenix?)

Fancy an LS1 Camaro/Firebird as a next car, any of you know what the MPG is like? There's so much crap on the net it's unreal, and most of it is US MPG.

I get 30 from the Focus (Which is a horrid car)

And hi by the way, I know I've not been on here for a while, but I'm still reading every so often Smile

My Monaro has an LS1 and I average 22mpg, thats about 30% town and 70% motorway.

On the long runs home I have seen 29 mpg but thats rare - 27mpg is more realistic.

Town is a bitch lol, 18mpg is a happy avg.

Thats my monaro pushing about 400bhp after its last tune.

Not bad at all, I do about 10,000 miles a year, could easily do 6,000 though if I needed to Very Happy

Well my Subaru does a genuine 23mpg and just isn't practical really. Hence its for sale. Doubt you'd get much better out of a heavyweight yank bruiser TBH.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

23 would be ok, I get 30 out of a shitty Focus.

I'm getting about 14.5mpg at the moment so 23 sounds lovely!

Bastards.
You made me look on ebay, and I found a '78 mustang, 5l V8 with a RHD conversion. 10 miles away too.

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=270412885310&Category=9844&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2

May buy.

Blimey so a nice quick drive of about 15 miles is costing £5+ fook that. Laughing

Even though my car is fooking slow I still enjoy getting 65MPG. Laughing

I have also considered getting a yank tank once back in the UK for the simple fact is they are cheaper in the UK than they are here. Laughing

think I'll probably go for it to be honest

Don't think I'll be able to get an LS1 though, a bit over budget, those LT1's still look pretty nice though, just need to find a nice manual

The noise made by any larger capacity V8 on carbs is worth any cons to literally any other aspect of ownership, go for forth good sir. Thumbs Up

phoenix is on his tour of europe at the moment i think, so pm him as this thread may be dead when he gets back so he may not see it

i think he has a pontiac transam

on the subject of fuel economy, his 3 litre diesel bmw 5 series, gets him better fuel economy than his 2 litre diesel nissan primera did
