Back in the dark ages, we would install a 190 or 195 degrees thermostat, for heat in the winter. These guys were aiming at 100 MPGthen in the spring install a 160 to 175 thermostat for cooler running in the heat of summer, back then , no A/C, no computers, heck , there wasn’t anything but an idiot light to let you know you had overheated. But with our trucklets, 180 F degrees, it what the computer is programmed to search for and the time to reach heat and maintain those temperatures |
If Richard Petty drove a Honda instead of a Plymouth.
Earlier I typed Super Bee when I meant SuperBird. |
I knew you meant King Richard in a Superbird! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...8942b509d.jpeg Here Richard stands beside his 1970, Superbird Pete Hamilton drive the #40 in 1969 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1edd1818b.jpeg |
King Richard was off driving a Ford, https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1b0a62eb1.jpeg 1969 Ford Torino Talledaga , note the front grille and bumperstretched forward several inches In search of downforce and aero dynamics He chased more rear downforce https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...dee2b5935.jpeg In this 1986, Pontiac 2+2 Aerocoupe |
How many MPG do you think this Superbird would get?
This is a drag ProMod car. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...dbee0be474.jpg |
MPG of what is the question... methanol, alcohol. or what ? That ProMod looks like it could literally fly.

That blower sticking out of the hood will be a source of drag. you need to get low down out of the wind, like this https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...c80dddba0.jpeg |

King Richard said the wing actually glued the rear end down compared the other cars of the time.
