IMAX cameras shoot in a much higher quality than standard cameras do. Cause they have a much larger film and can shoot in 48fps so everything looks sharper

Edit: In other words its more Sophisticated...so just go watch Avatar in IMAX 3D

^ that's not me, I swear (I haz AP package)


So 3 hours left to go, and the raods are damp and the temp dropped to 27 degrees...guess what I am seeing everywhere and what I'm not willing to drive on. Getting some sleep in my 8 and hoping it dries out turns to snow (which I love driving on), or gets salted the hell down.


...and I had 68 miles on the current tank, the needle was on the tick below the halfway point. Then I got my cat off and the MP on, and left on my trip. The light came on and I filled up at 212 miles. Been averaging 22-24 mpg on the trip. Sure beats the hell out of 9mpg and no power.

I keep breaking traction on acceleration where I never would. Like the tires breaking (just enough to feel, not enough to trigger TCS) all the way through first in WOT.


And I found out it isn't RB pipe, but don't know if I am allowed to say what ... but it's awesome.

NO.... Actually in my 8 (seriously)... I reset my mile counter before I went to LB... Im averaging... 360mi to 400mi per tank at least. I even asked IZZY how much does he get and he says at least 300 (and he said driving hard too)

well if you do the math IZZY 09 tank is a 16 gallon which 22mpg HWY -X- 16 = 352MPG... I dont see my 360mi/tank being unrealistic


You guys must have cement in your shoes... I always drive in 4th gear at 3500rpm which is about 80-82mph... barely even have to tap the gas at that point...

3500 rpm in 4th gear is not 80 mph

even in 6th it is above 4000

o.0 oh yeah I forgot =/

I still find it hard to believe that you got all the way to 400 miles. Coming back from SF I got around 260 miles with a quarter tank left before I refilled.

I gothca ATILLA, Im planning a trip up North in FEB... So Ill let you know how that goes..


BUt as for the subscription... WIN! DUDE.... my cousins have XBOX and have it chipped so they can play burnt games or what not, however MCROSFT some how found out about those XBOX's and banned them from playing online or what not....

SO this week for XMAS i took my PS3 and I connected to the WIFI and we played some MW2 online (which they have never) and they said it themselves that its way more entertaining online because you always play against RANDOM players and they are unpredictable.. not only that but its way bigger teams than just 4vs4..

ANYWAYS online play RULES DUDE no matter what the system be.

SUCKS u didnt have PS3 or else I'd pawn you!

I think it might be the 6 port thing. Because i know that if i hit 80 in 4th and if i'm not on the throttle (just feathering it) it'll feel like it wants to drop down a gear. Dunno why, but my car doesn't feel comfortable going 80 while cruising in 4th. It feels more comfortable in 5th doing 80.
