Add on the Quicksilver paint (the fastest color obviously) and you can't be beat.

Well, unless you're as bad a driver as I am...

Actually QSM was not the fastest color. YJ was. The reason they made an 05 YJ was an attempt to slow it down. GM was getting reports that the 04 YJ was destroying Z06's so they tried to tune it down in 05.. They failed so they killed production for YJ in 06.

I would go there, but my car is so fast I killed my clutch and I need a new one. If the new spec 35+ can hold my YJ power I will be glad to take it up there! :gr_jest:

I think im going to try a Monster stage 3. I have not heard one complaint about them, and the 1 clutch that I have seen fail Monster stepped up and replaced it. Everyone says their customer service is superb.

I often wonder why they put that stupid " Premium fuel reccomended " sticker inside the fuel door. Yeah, I know that with knock sensors we can run that sub 91 crap but why on earth would we?

your epa fuel economy #'s must be for an automatic. they were higher for the manual tranny and you could avoid the $1000 dollar gas guzzler tax.
