Is it just me, or does that sound kinda badass to others, too? A daily, running E98, beating purpose built trucks on dirt racing, and then bringing home the groceries. The car has a Clark Kent and Superman personality.

That's exactly what my OP was about. You have an ecomodder street-race car.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
