Sunday excursion to Gettysburg Nat'l Park - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So yesterday the wife and I hopped in the vette and decided to road trip it up to Gettysburg to visit the park and grab some lunch. It was way too cold but still enjoyable and it was nice averaging close to 30mpgs!!

Now today I have to wash her up and install some license plate LEDs.

Here's some snaps! Be sure to follow my flickr too!

one8turbo · 02-27-2013, 05:41 PM

Car is looking good too <3

boostedfury · 02-27-2013, 07:25 PM

not as much as you think. I still hit 24-26mpg on highway trips. I can't wait to just get in her and drive soon. Nice pictures man.

boostedfury · 02-27-2013, 08:34 PM

Wow thats awesome man! Would love to meet up one day shoot some pics and pick your brain on the car.

Antonio · 02-28-2013, 01:02 AM

yeah man, anytime I'm in the area. I'm going to Jason's shady maple bacon thingie. Cam dropped a couple mpg but nothing major. I did 3.90 gears and that dropped maybe another 1-2. 6th gear cruising on the highway with my current setup I'm still seeing 22-24mpg.

City is where it hurts when you're cammed pretty high. Traffic is a pain on the mpg and the left leg

jpalamar · 02-28-2013, 10:10 AM

^ I really wanna drive your car again... now that you have gears.

And yes. Corvette orgy sometime.

Dante, those pics look really good. The color of your car works very well this time of year.

boostedfury · 02-28-2013, 01:35 PM

Works for me, maybe we can meet up at the spring meet if you guys are both going. And yea Jason, my cars color is almost a light gunmetal in the shade or overcast, then the sun it's more metallic gold, pretty damn crazy.

I want to throw on some clears up front to get rid of that orange reflector, and of course performance mods.

cossh014 · 02-28-2013, 03:24 PM

Jason and Antonio, with both your Vettes there I'm probably gunna end up wanting to stop at the newest dealer on the way home and trade in the Sky for a Vette haha.

Boostedfury, I love that color, I always wonder if I got the right car when I see pics of C5s...

I used to own a Sky Redline. There's lots of things I miss about that car over the vette. Grass isn't always greener bud.... lol

Besides, there's plenty of potential in the Sky. It can make some good power, and is a blast to throw in the corners with some suspension upgrades
