So I was talking to the C7 Z06 that was parked next to me in the paddock at Palmer. He said he took the car on a trip from Connecticut to Atlanta and back in April covering 2000 miles. He said the car returned 30 MPG on the highway, because of cylinder deactivation. That's phenomenal for a big bang performance car.

Also said Chevy has engineered the exhaust so it opens a valve to sound better in cylinder deactivation mode. The same valve can also be opened for more bangs and pops whilst in performance mode. I got to see the car up close. They did a good job with the aero and fit and finish.

Or replacing it with another car using the funds from the S2 parts sale too.

getting out of the STi before it hits 200K. Looking at getting a 2010 Audi A4 Avant.


S2 parts funds will help pay for new car registration, inspection etc. Also need to pay off my credit card. its getting out of hand. I need to list the S2 parts on craigslist and facebook. not getting any hits through the forum.
