Last weekend, I attended the second annual Der Schuh Syndikat. I left on May 2nd and returned May 5th logging 1,060 miles in just four days. If you are on the east coast, please check out the website here: http://schuhsyndikat.org/

On a stretch on the way home, I decided to test the fuel efficiency of the car. Yes, it was hard to stay out of WOT, but I did it. Over the 197 miles, only 8.479 gallons were used resulting to an effective 23.23mpg. This is actually slightly low if you consider that I'm running oversized (giant) tires resulting in my speedo reading a bit low (4mph @ 80). I would say that it's a minimum of 24mpg whatever way you slice it. Not bad for a car that can produce stupid amounts of power.

I also threw it on the dyno for all my coupe friends to just show how stupid it is even on 93. No fans, no dyno load, hot building, and still 580whp with all the heat soak. This is the real deal.

I also apparently raced a black Mercedes something on the way down. I didn't think we ran as I stopped about 10 buses in front of him expecting that he never went. Others confirmed that he was WOT - I'm sorry buddy.

My broseph Doug DuCote is doing a full writeup of the weekend's festivities - can expect that later this week.

Until then, please enjoy a few pictures:
