I always told people that I would race them for $$$ IF they would follow me to the track and not stop for anything but red lights, signs, and traffic....my old low 12 second Neon could go 400 miles on a tank of gas while my SRT4 can go a bit over 300.....I just decided that I will from now on challenge those willing to be foolish enough to drag race my Geo Metro!!! I just got 50.8 mpg with a partial tune up, now I have my tires aired up and have lightened it up by nearly 20 lbs....I KNOW I will still have at least 6/10ths of a gallon left after a 508 mile drive to a race track....how many muscle cars can go that distance?

Just think of how much fuel would be used if there were no rules in top fuel classes, like the good old days....you could see many 2 engine cars ans some with 4 rear slicks...today they are limited on gear ratio, cubic inches, rpm, wt, and the list is endless.

I take an afront to my expelling of CO2.....I used to race bicycles before I raced cars!
