I'm just baffled that there is a "fast" Beretta out there. Also, FWIW, your Corvette should get better gas mileage than the POS Beretta.

If I unplug the spark plug wires on the cylinders I don't need, will it still be injecting fuel into them? I'm not understanding this. Should I worry more about the injectors?

On a more "serious" note, I'm curious as to what gas mileage you get in both your Vette and Beretta? |
Getting around 25 on the highway. Well under 20 city.
My Beretta is fast and it easily gets over 20 city. Not sure highway. |

This post is making me LOL. You can't find a high performance car that gets better mileage than a Vette. I would sell the Beretta! :rock:

December 2012 has sure brought in a few new trolls for some reason. Full moon all month?
Just remove 4 spark plugs of your choice and be done with it. |

I'm with the guys calling Troll on this one...doesn't know anything about cars yet his daily driver is a riced out beretta(which could explain not knowing anything about cars)??? Not buying it. Though it is rather funny :rofl:
Thanks! I really enjoyed a nice laugh to start out the week. ...and in answer to the OP's original question, I suggest pulling out every other cylinder. That way, the reduced engine power is evenly distributed, your gas mileage improves to 45MPH highway and the Corvette ride-adjusted swaybars and suspension will sense the reduced horsepower and the Corvette DIC will automatically convert to "Civic Mode". Good luck! :cheers: |
And then on top of all this - check out his username! Good stuff. I'm confused as to why he didn't choose "BeastlyBeretta"?

You know...lots of people who buy a Veyron will never get it over 150mph.
Just leaving the Vette in the garage,and getting a "My Other Car is a Corvette" bumper sticker for the Beretta will save the most gas,and people will still say "Wow-that guy's got a Vette" |
It's a 2.8L. I have a custom bosal exhaust on it and some spark plug wires that were already on it when I got it.
I'm not saying it's faster than the vette, although it does feel pretty damn quick. I'm just saying that it gets me good gas mileage. I don't fill it up as often but I drive it more since it's my daily car. C'mon, I can't be the only one who is asking this? I have been looking and there are several others complaining about the bad gas mileage. All i'm looking for is a permanent solution, but I don't want to get rid of it because I love the car so much. Help me out here. It's a fact that 4 cylinder engines get better gas mileage. I'm not crazy you know. |

All you have is an exhaust on it? That car wouldn't even be in the 15s, and would struggle to be in the 16s. To even remotely compare the power to a 6 speed C5 Vette is laughable.

Wow, I never compared them. You should learn to read. C'mon you guys.
I can't believe you are taking the "pull 4 spark plugs" comment seriously. C'mon man! |

I drive a prestine Chevy Beretta which sips fuel, despite it being a really quick car(bunch of mods), and it's almost painful when I have to fill up the vette so often. ...... If you drive the Vette with a light foot, it will get better mileage than the Beretta! http://fueleconomydb.com/index.php?-...=40&-mode=list |
