Its really a sweet ride! The only thing I dont like so far is I wish it had another gear. Its got 3.73s and sits around 2500 on the highway where I like to drive....

Other than that, its pretty fast for a stock truck, Handles like a Trans-Am and looks sweet

The gas mileage could be better... The first tank of Gas I got 12.6mpg but thats cause I was playing around and I let friend and family drive it which meant the boost gauge was showing 8psi most of the time Just tripped 300 miles last night.

Took 41 bucks to fill it up when the low fuel light came on.

It does need a chip and pulley though I really need a 12 second Tow vehicle


I have been giving the Mustangs dirty looks all weekend, they didnt want any part of the L

Nah no racing for me.... I said it NEEDS a chip and Pulley, I didnt say I was gonna do it

The TTA will not sit!

I bought an extended warranty to 100K, I dont wanna void it. I just want a nice quick daily driver that will blow off all the imports and F-bodys *cough* *cough*

Sounds like your happy with it so far. Now if only I could afford to do some work on my truck, they even have a supercharger kit for mine.
