My Best Advice...Delete this thread and do a search...
Driveability is a relative term, so it will be different for everyone. Generally, people that stay under 230/230 are deemed "streetable."

T-rex.




Or a 224. Check my sig. Deleting thread wouldn't be too bad of an idea either.

searching is a good idea... like they said... what is streetable to YOU?
to most id say get somthing in the 224 .565 114 range...
or if you wanted a little more maybe a 228 .581 112 range...

BTW: Is gas mileage really your main concern?
