LFG!!

I have the same downpipe!!

Hey I would’ve done the same!! I had almost 3/4 tank at Buc-ee's and could’ve made it back home on 1 tank but gas at Bucees was $2.12…topped it off since I was stopped!!

No bad, what's the numbers on GPS vs in car speedo? To be totally honest though that showing while good, is part of the reason I abandoned the idea of a GSF. My 4.0TT does that in 4.3 with bolt ons and E40.......while also being in the low/mid 2 sec 0-60 range unlike the rear driver cars.

Closing out 2025 (admittedly a day late). You can continue the conversation in the 2026 thread
