I have driven a dodge intrepid, had 2, since i got my license. Wonderful cars assuming you have the 3.2/3.5, fun, good power... but unmistakably fwd. so it'll be almost 8 years in the same car and i want a new experience. rwd manual.

I drive about 75 hwy/25 cty. nothing really matches the power of the ls1/tremec t56 combo or gets significantly better mileage than it. I guess im just looking for opinions before i make my decision permanent.

checked the mileage of the 350z, bmw's, miata, etc. everything is about the same, sub-20 city and around 26/27 highway. bummer

with the gto, cruising at 60 the engine will be turning 1600rpm. so at 35-40mph it'll be running about 1000rpm in 6th. i have high hopes. oh, and i want the '04 specifically because i has the 5.7 ls1 and not the 6.0 ls2, and the '04 didn't have the hood scoop. Cd of .31

thanks for the input guys.
