Heres my $.02, I was looking at getting rid of my C6, I am very glad that I didnt.
The TBSS looks nice, has all the gizmos that the Vette has, but its no Vette. It was a pig, sucked up alot of gas, and really slow. I had to manually shift it to really feel the hp.
While it kind of blows I only have a 2 seater, I have not had the necessity for a big *** SUV.
Plus the TB doesnt get 32+ MPG on the highway like my C6 does.

Easy, Manual 6, leave the car in sixth for about 8 hrs and get 450-475 out of the gas tank......
I got 459 Miles out of my last tank of gas, that was from Dayton OH all the way back to my house on the south side of Charlotte NC.

how fast are you going 55.... to the OP sorry
I agree with some of the earlier posters, I wouldnt hack the cowl when you can get as much or more power with the procharger, and the sound of the procharger is just plain wicked

guess im lucky, i got a family and when i took my wife to look at the ss, she could tell by the look on my face after the test drive i wanted it. i said baby i want that car, she said ok and smiled. she went in there and bought it for me. i mean sometimes you just get lucky. i let her get an suv to accomodate when everyone needs to drive. the ss is my away time. lol dont we all need that. its better to act foolish when there is no passengers anyway.
