Except MPG, we averaged 19.1 for the trip. But the car was filled to the brim, mostly with baby stuff
LOL - I somehow don't think you bought a V for the gas mileage.

This is true, but having to stop every 250 miles or so gets annoying. they are first world problems.

I was hoping for 20, but still not to bad, got 27 out of the vette on a similar road trip.

Nice setup. Is that Epic a WC?
yep, the only issue is that speeds over 90, especially at WOT, the exhaust cooked the CF rims. I had to make temporary heat shields for the way home, I have a plan for more permanent ones.

Keep an eye on the wheels. It looks like it's only the paint, but the resin might have been affected. I've seen people burn through the Carbon before with cars that put off lower EGTs.

I'm pretty sure the resin is damaged and thus so I have been talking with our rep and I can get crash replacement hoops at $125 each, so that is what I will be doing.
