I wonder if anyone will make a way to go longer on the final gearing? The body feels really solid. I am a hypermiler by nature so I didn't wind it up or toss it into a turn but it seems like a nice commuter car for the money.

Hey, you're in Syracuse too! Didn't know there was anyone else in Syracuse one ecomodder.
Where is he commuting to/from? I know on 81 there are a few real GOOD hills.
