Hey guys,
I Just arrived in Florida like 2 days ago, I am beyond impressed with the 3.0 And thanks to the valentine One Radar I am really impressed with the time it took me to get down. So here are the figures.
Starting from: Plattsburgh, NY 12901
Est. travel time: 22 hours 49 minutes
Going to: Winter Park, FL 32792
Distance: 1403.87 miles
And now here is the time I made it in.
Starting from: Plattsburgh, NY 12901
travel time: 18 hours 23 minutes
Going to: Winter Park, FL 32792
Distance: 1403.87 miles
Total Average of: 77mph
MPG: 32Mpg
I am so happy with the 3.0 and valentine. Although I know I will probally be bad mouth due to my speed, it made the trip fun and quick. Just incase someone was interested! hehe
Later
Micah

I won't bad mouth your speed, the SHO averages 80-85ish. BTW I'm surprised at the mileage you got. Is it still the 4.06?

hey, Its the zetec final drive. I would have done a better average but thoughs damn stops just slowed my average down to much. I guess the secret is to have a 100 gallon tank in the trunk, then I could have kept my speed as my average.  Micah

If your ever in Southwest Florida and want to meet or hang out send me an email eric@ritterpenusa.com Maybe I'll go to Sam's pad and see the surgery in person. Good time by the way, I'm planning to go to Lorain, OH this summer and Cedar Point where I use to work. I'm waiting on the Valentine 1 though. Eric
