    Damn man, that thing was rough!! Looks like you brought it back to life big time. Awesome job on the work so far. Can't even tell it's the same car as in your first pic lol.

    Im making 100 RWHP Im betting and getting 13-15 mpg and thats no fun.
    Funny thing is, I thought my trans am was terrible on gas when I first got it on the road...until I bought my TJ. I forgot how horrendous the old 4.0 is for gas mileage lol.

    I was actually originally going to buy a brand new 2013 rubi or sahara, and I test drove a few at a local dealership. In the end though, I just couldn't get over how that new 3.6 feels like it has absolutely no torque. I went and test drove my current rubicon with the 4.0, and fell in love again. If you drive the two within a few days of each other, the difference in pedal feel is insane lol. The 4.0 can come out of a corner in 3rd gear at 1000 RPM and pull like your in 1st gear with your foot barely on the gas. I tried that in the 2013 when I drove it, and I honestly had to push the pedal like 3/4 of the way down to get it to accelerate.

                                I haven't had a chance to get an accurate mpg number on my TA because theres not one time driving it where I didn't go WOT lol. I'd say on the highway I'm at about 21ish though. That 6 speed is amazing.
