They made a 5 speed Fusion? I thought even the Nascar versions were 4 speeds.
If I had a $5k budget, and a vehicle that I could use for now, I'd be shopping for some things I can assemble into an "ideal" vehicle. In my mind, that's finding a 4th-generation Camaro with a six-speed manual, and swapping in a 2.2L and 2.73s (or 3.23s) from an S10. But I tend to think based on pure highway mileage, unrealistic usage otherwise, as if an ecomodded vehicle is a sports car aimed specifically for one purpose.
