Quote: Also for the guy with the 3.5 300m. That car is a lot heavier than mine for one. For two it has to meet emisions standards, noise standards, ease of mass production, bean counters. The 300m could get a ton better miledge if they put any effort in it, look at the LS powered camaros, I rode with a guy and even with goofin off a little it got 29 mpg on the highway at 75.
Dave, I wasn't refering to your build, I was referring to DMERC's 408 stroker.
However, the 3.5 in my 300m has 10:1 compression (just throwing that out there), and it's curb weight is 3577 lbs. The curb weight for the Avenger R/T with the 3.5 is 3355 lbs. And both average 24 mpg highway. They can get more or less at any given moment depending on the situation. How much does your car weigh in at?
Per the Moparts archives, 67-71 A engined A bodies weigh 3000- 3200 lbs. Do you feel that weight saves that much more gas than aerodynamics?
