Short shifting and using neutral when you can will get you some decent gas mileage.
Just wait until premium is over $4 a gallon again. Hah.

Just got a Terminator, and 68 Miles later it's broke.

I was basically doing that lol.
It's not a big deal. I was hoping for more. Kinda bragging rights I guess. Hellcat is 13/21.

Just making sure you burped it via the procedure. I know that was already said several times but it's important. And make sure you never add coolant directly to the overflow tank, especially when the motor is not not completely cold. Always add at the crossover tube.
What was going on in that picture of your crossover tube there? I can't get loosen mine... it's stuck on there. I'm afraid to strip it if i keep trying. Not sure what i should do about it.

I'm betting you did a fair share of WOT pulls during the road trip? all bets are off concerning fuel mileage when you do that! :-D Driving around town out of boost you should be able to see 15 if you have a good tune.
Heat cycle the car don't try to loosen it when cold.
Yeah got 14.4 in town with now pulls.
AEM wideband is in. Going to call up Whalen Speed to get the bung welded. I don't trust the splatter happy exhaust shops.
That's more like it. You can surely live with 14.4 around town. 
Nice car, looks like mine! I don't even check my MPG when I do pulls. However, the car is pretty much stock and I've gotten 23mph all highway. 21 all highway is normal for me. In town I average 15-17 with no pulls.
So the stereo was driving me nuts. The car has the Ford Mach 1000 system. It sounded ok but the factory head unit holds 6 of those old mini-record things.
I had an Alpine BY unit laying around so I tossed it in. From what I read online that should have actually made it should better, but it didn't.
The sound is now very muffled. I've played with the equalizers and its muffled or very electronic and tinny.
The only thing that could be wrong is the grounds. Looks like there are 4 - Grounds on the car side, so I tied them into the head grounds.
I can't live life like this. Now I have to yank a $2,000 stereo system lol. Are the sub enclosures able to support aftermarket 10"ers?
Good news is tracking shows Bob's gaskets delivered and even better!
Cooling head mod done by the previous owner! Thank you Jesus.

Interesting read.
Glad you figured it out and got it back on the road.
I saw your car a few months ago when it was getting tuned. Was a really nice car. Great find!

Thank man!
I've been going over it and it's so far been a quality built piece. The only issue was the rear fender trimming. According to Robert, that was done a decade ago when he first had the car and before the mods.
Someone spent money on this sucker.
I didn't think the Mach 1000 was an option on Cobra's? Someone add it?

Gaskets, fancy.
I'll get this in ASAP.
But something odd was going on. When I give the car gas (light acceleration) it now wants to push to the left (driver). When I left off (accelerate or cruise) it also then tugs back and to HR right (passenger).
Otherwise the car drives straight and true.
Is this a drive line problem? It just started doing it today.
Hmm...weird it just stared. No abnormal wear in the tires / tie rods / etc?
I guess so. I know the 460 was standard.
I've been reading up. I guess the Mach 1000 is the two subs and 6 amps. They are a plug in affair and someone could have just bought them for ~$1,000 from the dealer.
I need to find a good fix cause it sounds awful right now.

Caliper sticking or dragging?

Maybe... Problem went away today. However the tears are squeaking.
But I'm now hearing a thunk from the rear going over bumps.
Pulled the wheels off to see what was going on.
Still meat on the pads,
That don't look swell,

My 02 GT that I just gave to my 16 year old son has the Mach 1000 stereo in it... Hands-down the most incredible factory stereo I have ever heard. It will cause your spleen to bleed.
