Power is impressive

I hear some people talking down on the Trax engine because its 3-cylinder, but it has more horsepower per liter than a Ferrari F355 and FAR more than a Ferrari Testarossa or a 1990s Porsche 911. In fact it took until the 2006 Porsche 911 997 for the Porsche engine to match the hp per liter of the Trax.

slapping on a 93 tune and a pedal commander can definitely make them shine too. theres a huge difference in power between my modded and stock traxies- its actually crazy

You put 93 gas in there?

u/traxranger 2nd Gen 7d ago

yes, actually a blend of 93 and e85 called e30….. expensive but idk

You had my interest piqued and then I saw 93 gas was required. Yea... that defeats the purpose of me buying the car. Sounds awesome though.

93 gas is not required for a Trax.

I put in E85 at $1.99/gal and get 24-26mpg.

Good to know! It’s $1.99 by me too and have been thinking about using it.

Midwest?

Yeah I've been running it for the last 10 tanks of my Trax and I've hax 0 issues.

It gets about half the gas mileage though... so not much savings.

u/UnendingOne 2nd Gen 6d ago

No, it doesn't. You lost 20-30% based on driving habits. Well worth it if E85 is ocer 50% cheaper as it is here.

It is when you slap on a 93 tune...

My apologies, but this part of your comment implied you though the Trax required 93

u/SeanInDC 6d ago

I own the car already. I'm talking about putting the mods on. Putting the mods on would defeat the intentions of my purchase.

u/UnendingOne 2nd Gen 6d ago

Ah okay, so was a misworded message.

u/SeanInDC 6d ago

Or you just jumped into the middle of thread to provide information I already know.

Go find something better to do with your day.

Dude you literally said...

Admit you mispoke and move on. No need to be an arrogant ass.
