I don't wanna burn gasoline,, I do this burning 100% WVO. Granted it the car doesn't accelerate like a 60's chevy, but it sure sounds awesome. Expensive game NO WAY, this car will be a parts car if and when she croaks. (She's been in surgery since the front right wanted to occupy the same space as something else (previous owner). And at $1000 (what I paid for the car) I won't lose any money on this one either.
On a side note, I bet I have the cleanest injectors on this forum
I NEVER drive like a bat outta hell until the temp reads close to 80,,, I'm NOT that stupid.
4400RPM in 1st gear is around 20 MPH, 2nd gear around 45 MPH, 3rd around 70 MPH, don't know what 4400 is in fourth, never been there in this car. If you look at your speedo, you'll see 1 dot, 2 dots, and 3 dots, those indicate redline.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything bad to the car, as German engineers would never make a car that would break as the engine approaches redline,,, belts are another story.
