Pro-Touring daily drivers

[Josh69]

daily driven for about 5 months now...

I've always loved your car, a real warrior, street or track. Cool.

Mine:



318, 904 right now... 360, 4speed overdrive soon. I get 15 mpg on short trips, up to 22 on longer ones. Suspension and brake mods. Simple for now... Starting to get serious.

That is seriously Bad Ass. Very close to what I want to do with my D/D Nova.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Dont own a car under 1970, prefer it that way, but I miss AC

OK guys, here's an update. So I drove Medusa for 3 days (90 miles one way to work) And if cost me a whopping $150 for those 3 days in gas. I decided to rent a 4 banger import, I hate it but being a single dad I have to save where ever I can. I hope I don’t get banned from here, haha !
To top it off, my claim is still in limbo from both ins. company's. What a major pile of steaming Sh*t! My budget will be tight, I hope i get my claim settled very very soon !

If you guys have any advice, im all ears !

You're getting about the same MPG as me. DOH. My commute is 60mi round trip, so I can make it to work twice on a tank safely. After 130mi my tank reads 'E' but I've only ever put 12gallons in it, so the sender is worthless....but I'm not willing to risk it.

I know it's bad when taking my lifted Silverado is more economical!

I don't blame you, it's not cheap putting premium in at $3/gal and getting 10-12mpg. I'll be putting about 500 miles on it this weekend. Show Sat AM, a bigger cruise in Sat Night, then the drag races in WI Sunday. 60mi round trip for the 1st, 130mi for the 2nd show, then 260 round trip for the drags.

I drive mine as much as I can. (can`t drive it to work - construction site w trucks machines and dicey parking spots)

...After 130mi my tank reads 'E' but I've only ever put 12gallons in it, so the sender is worthless....but I'm not willing to risk it.

I hear you guys on the fuel tank sending unit(s) mine is all messed up. It reads half empty, after burning 6 gallons, and empty after 15 gallons. The tank is 22 gallons.

Hey, but I got 16 mpg on the mountain stretch, with lots of hills, and some spirited pro-touring style driving. Not bad for a big block ;)

A dash pic; Note the construction... I had gravel in my brake scoops and even inside the engine bay, on the intake manifold! 30 miles of road repairs - resurfacing

You are right, and yes it sure is a great drive

nice cars, but yours is still nicer IMHO... nice colour choice BTW.

I just picked this up for a summer time daily driver.

Built by Holley Performance for a Marketing tool.

First time in public hands.

[tom1]

I drove it daily until about three months ago. I think I'll take it to work tomorrow. Rouge, that is one bad ass car.

[my79f]

Back from the dead! Any other contributions?

[DarkBuddha]

Have to admit that I finally caved and bought a new daily... I feel kinda lame for it, but the car is actually pretty awesome which kinda makes up for the lameness of it being a new car:

[jp455]

Well until I left Florida this was my daily driver, even went on a couple of trips from FL to NY through the Outer Banks and what not. Man I miss it! Ill have to ship it over ASAP!

[Martin71RS]

double post

[Martin71RS]

I have used mine daily for 1,5 year (before the last rebuild) first a rock through my window and the big dent in my door made me decide to put it away.







I havent driven it much last year and maybe I should just take it out more (trouble is I have a company car that's almost free, even fuel)

it's lower now and has a bigger (thirstier) motor so I don't think it will become a daily....building a 62 Nova now for a daily on a budget, very mild build not full out PT.
