    Nice! I sometimes think that running them hard a little bit is what keeps them going for so long.

    Old schoolers told me to run hard on an engine thats set for 20+ years with 50,000 miles and so far so good. 1,2500 miles on a motor i pieced together!

    I also verified thru super 3d modeling programs and a small Cray super computer that the car will still achieve 115 mpg in 5th gear on flat ground with a nice 12.7 afr running E 85...on the original fuel pump.

    We have a small Cray "supercomputer" at work. I'm not really impressed with it to be honest. :P Might be cooler if it wasn't running Windows HPC.
