I thought about the Hemi powered cars myself when I purchased my MCSS. But the looks of the Monte overcame my urge for the Hemi. That being said, if I had purchased the Hemi 4door I would probably still have it. Unlike the Monte, I ended up needing the 2 extra doors, thats the main reason I no longer have the MCSS.

Don't laugh! I have a Jetta TDI, it gets me an average of 44 MPG, that average has been over the last year not just one tank. The best MPG I have gotten outa 1 tanks has been 46.5 that was 667 miles on that tank. I figured I might as well buy something with four doors and gets some serious MPG. Just not as fun to drive! Oh well kids will do that to ya.

i heard from the dealership and they were offering 10k for my impala and i had to put 3k down and my payment would be from 450-506 a month. i think im stuck with this damn thing for a couple more years 
. the guy from the dealership had lots of fun with my car and gave me compliments on it. he also said it felt faster than the ones he has in stock. so i guess thats a good thing

the LS4 cars have somewhat of an aftermarket but not enough like the HEMI. im not worried about how much its gonna cost to mod it but i dont want my tranny to blow up because these trannys are sh*ty compared to dodge's transmissions. plus they have some R/T's in AWD so thats definitely a plus. dont get me wrong i love my impala but hearing everyone talk about how weak these transmissions are and blah blah blah, u would tend to go with a different car as well

you will lose the sleeper appeal when you get the R/T. Everyone knows about those cars and what they have.. Sure it will get you noticed more but you wont be able to surprise people anymore.
Like the other day i had a retard in a 97 cobra reving at me cause he thought i had a v6, his cocky *** smile went away soon after i rev'd back and put a bus lenght on him

I worked for Dodge as a tech back in the early 2000's. Dodge's transmissions are not good at all, I've seen countless amounts of vehicles come in for trans issues.

2010 Dodge Charger SRT8: 425 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm.
Zero to 60 in 4.4 secs. The top speed is over 165 mph.
You're right, an LS4 would need a turbo to keep up. That's if it doesn't fall apart first.
