And the damn thing still get's 18 MPG.
I don't know about you guys, but the ability to get to 60 faster then almost everyone else and still getting that gas mileage makes up for putting 60 dollars in the tank (gotta love premium).
Now can someone help me figure out why people are bitching about gas prices?

I agree... ive been driving a 07 Accord hybrid for work, i only average 25mpg in it. Its not as boring as alot of other cars ive driven... but to only gets a little less in the camaro is SO worth it.
Especially when people try to be dicks... like on the on-ramp, just drop a couple gears and punch it.
Cant do that in the Accord.
^ 13 mpg?! w/ 340hp & M6?? sounds like you need a tune? I was 328/338 (in higher elevation) with 4.10's, 315 rears 275 fronts getting 18mpg in town.

Im not impressed at all with alot of the hybrid or compacts that were specifically designed for fuel mileage. When i had a m6 i would get 30mpg highway and was running mid 11s. They advertise chevy aveos,civics,etc at about 35mpg. Im sorry but to have to sacrifice everything for 5mpg is not worth it. If they got 70mpg that would make alittle more sense.

If you guys want get a LS7 crate motor, put it in and gut your F bodys to be lightweight... run it through a 3.23 geared rearend , 6 speed trans and have 500+FWHP whenever you need it and to save gas just cruise and youll get 35mpg!!

Gas prices doesn't bother me that much. Still a bitch to put out 60 bucks a week in gas. Only reason i'd love to have a DD even if it had worse MPG is to keep the miles down on the ta.
