If the price of gas matters to you, this car is not worth owning. 23+mpg is mind blowing considering 30 years ago 250hp would get you 12mpg.

I drive her gently most of the time because of traffic; no point in revving it when you can't go anywhere. When the road and conditions are clear, I drive it flat out, and keep my lawyer's # on speed dial. This car has the right handling and just enough power to fully apply on the road. Something like a Z06, though tempting, would always feel like you've had a Supermodel but only got a hummer.

exactly how i feel, because of how gas is, theres no point in revving the engine that high and speeding (not that you should anyway one the highway, save it for the strip) when gas was $1.33 yea i could deal with that but its not anymore... besides, with the 370 and its looks... your on speed...even when your not...
