I think it is a project with merit, and I think 35 should be easy. I used to have a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (supercharged 3.8 and I think it has the 4T80. If I kept my foot out of it, I could nurse 30 out of it on the same circuit I now drive and didn't hypermile at all.

I always thought the Aurora (or Buick Riviera) had great aero potential. Being front drive, a belly pan should be easy. I alwayswished those cars came with a stick.
