    MSP vs. Evo 8

    Damn, My good buddy at work just traded in his Camaro SS for a new "Blue by You" EVO 8. That car is the s***. As far as power hands down the EVo wins but when it comes to the twisties I would say our cars definately keep up. We both did the "Seven Sisters" (Seven nice curves by the Loch...

    Just filled her up with the 4th tank of Sunoco Super 94 and the car is running smoother and pulling harder. If you have the means you must try it. Oh yeah, I have been averaging 29.3 MPG with the Super. Really weird, but who's complaining.. The two trips to Philadeplia may have helped. I...
