Why would I? I like my balls where they are.
Again, I enjoy having 500whp getting 15 MPG in the City and 25 on the Hwy and paying $4 a gallon because I fucking can. I also enjoy being able to merge at the speed of traffic and passing people when ever I feel like it without even dropping a gear.



Hmmm...your arguement fails. I know what I get everytime I've taken a road trip and that's been about 24-25 MPG which is what a lot of them are saying. I also get about 15-16mpg in the city which is what a lot of them are saying again.

Tie Fitr is different then most of those Cobras since he has the Viper tranny with the lower ratio 6th gear which is just like the new Z06s. I'm not suprised he gets 27-28 mpg.

Hell....ask Doing OK what mileage he gets on his Z06
+1
But he still won't believe us.

Hybrids harm the environment with their batteries, production, and they last much less than an average vehicle.
