My GF got a 35 Ounce

I've been dating my Girl for almost 4 years, this summer.

She has always been a EURO fan (VW's mostly), and I finally brought her to the proper part of the automotive industry, lol.

She had been looking for a little over 2 months, constantly checking eBay and Autotrader.

It couldn't be a base model (no cruise), and it had to be the 6MT/Pikes Peak Pearl White.

We found this one in the middle of Florida, and booked our flight the next day.

Picked it up and couldn't be happier. The 2K+ drive back was pretty fun. The damn thing AVERAGED 29mpg at 75mph. What a beast, lol.








Besides the price, the best part is it basically modified the way she wanted it.
Full intake, Greddy Evo II exhaust with APS testpipes, K-sport coilovers, Cusco A-arms, Nismo Wheels,(245/275 tires), tinted windows, 06+ LED tailights, a Pioneer AVH-P4100 DVD player, and NISMO short shifter. The car sounds sick, and no exhaust drone whatsoever.

It is an enthusiast package, but luckily the PO installed Brembos from a track model 350Z.

Thanks!

That's what I thought too initially, but from what I've seen the average is around 26mpg.
I couldn't believe it has a 20 gallon tank too, we were getting well over 400 on a tank without cutting it close.

thats a nice ride. I would get one over the evo but it only seats two. I didn't realize they got that kind of gas mileage either!

They probably are about right. I know a G has a good 500lbs on the Z. We really did have ideal conditions for the trip. Around town she has been getting 24.xx mpg.
