BPT Mileage

Well, I did my first highway run in the GT(x). 3hrs each way. Filled up at the same station before and after the journey. Average speed was 120KPH (75 MPH) worked out to 11.73 KM/liter, 28.5MPG or 8.5 Liter per 100KM. Better than I anticipated!
Fifth gear feels like a passing gear as it is always "throttle sensitive"

Gotta love that silver snail!

Fast and good on gas! (especially with the recent price hikes!)

Well I picked up the motor for $2K.
Various electrical $1K.
Intake / exhaust $2K
So $5K CDN or aprox. 3.3K US for the parts.
*I think car parts are a little easier to get in the US, so it $$$ more in Canada.
Add your labor cost plus misc.
