Mods/MPG/Times

Don't really know a thing about a Turbo buick, but after I get back from Iraq next year i'm going to be looking to buy one. Any way, my Question is, what kind of MPG numbers are these cars putting down with the mods you guys have mods. Also, how quick are they and how streetable is it? Thanks

You'll find that most cars are around 25 on hwy and 15-18 in the city depending on how you drive. They are very streetable. My car isn't a monster, but could still run a 10 then hand the keys to grandma and would let her drive it to the store with the ac blowing. These cars act like small v6 cars until you dip into the turbo. BTW most of the simple mods will actually net you more mpg.

Worst city: 11MPG Avg city: 15-17MPG Best city: 19MPG
Worst hwy: 19MPG Avg hwy: 20-24MPG Best hwy: 27MPG(Royal purple oil )

Mods in signature, the converter hurts the gas mileage...mostly in stop and go traffic aka. OC beach cruise I drove it daily from 2003 to 2009 but recently have been able to cut down on the mileage, still use it 2-3 times a week though if the weather is nice!

Runs 11.81 @ 118mph as is, street tires, slow 60ft, drive it to the strip and let a rip! hth

25+ on the highway is not uncommon at all. you can have a low 11 second car that drives pretty much like a stocker.
