With everything clean and shiny you'll likely be okay for 5-10,000 miles. I found mine started pinging as some carbon developed had to go from 89 to premium.
High 14s are great for driving around.
High 13s are better for some grunt power.
I'll take as many 87 octane miles as I can with gas costing as much as it does! Yeah, for this trip we are just driving around - more power isn't needed. It has plenty to get us around!
Today we hit the road again and first went to the Floyd Garret Muscle Car Museum. Here are all the pictures from there...
It was permanently closed, although their website was still active and said they opened at 9 AM this morning.
Oh well, so we went to Cooter's, which is a small attraction for the Dukes of Hazzard. Since my car is the same as Daisy Duke had early on in the show, I got a real close parking space!
The Charger in front was a "jump car", so it was actually a Crown Victoria with Charger body panels. They also had a Charger inside as well.
They had the Jeep that Daisy Duke drove after the yellow Road Runner went off a cliff...
I tried to drive it out but they wouldn't let me!
Then we headed to the Smokey Mountains. It was raining (again/ still), but they are aptly named!
Here is a nice shot of a dam
We then drove the 11 mile length of road 129 called the Dragon's Tail. It was wet, and the Road Runner doesn't handle so well anyway. Plus, when we got on it, it quite easily was breaking the rear tires loose.
So we probably weren't the fastest ever to drive the road, but Barry's hair was still on fire after the drive!
Thanks to
@conv67bdere for the suggestion too drive this!
We headed up towards Kentucky. Tomorrow we will go to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Now before I get flamed for doing so, realize I have a family heirloom Corvette that was my father-in-laws (a 1962 340 horse close ration 4 speed with a 4.11). Plus, I think this is a museum not to miss - I hear it is really well done.
