But do you really want to pay for the gas that feeds a 6.1L? ---

Granted, the Hemi aint no Prius, but far better than a 360 in an early GC. My '04 AWD 4.7L Limited gets about 15-16 mpg around town. ---

Its gotta be able to deal with in traffic and run at least 14.00 sec 1/4 or faster a 06-08 civic si throw a comptech blower on it and you got yourself a high 13 sec car and still have 5-6k left over for more fun parts of your choice and you will get 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway thats what i would pick but im a little partial to the new si’s lol ---

Bone Stock ECM, full weight, and it sounded incredible. I’d rock one of those 8 days a week. ---

I would not spend 30k on a single car. I would probably buy something like a used 04+ f-150 for like 18k and then get, something a bit more fun Choose 12000 worth of below Spec miata dedicated drag car dirt modified racing kart motorcycle boat wave runner atv Basically I could have alot more fun with 30k buying something in the mid teens and buying a dedicated toy with the rest. ---

Its gotta be able to deal with in traffic and run at least 14.00 sec 1/4 or faster Don’t waste your time on overpriced GTO’s that are SO SLOW…buy a Mitsubishi EVO 9. AWD for Pittsburgh winters, seats 5 people easily, gets 25mpg on the highway, and does low 13’s in stock form, add exhaust and a chip flash and you are doing mid 12’s. Plus you can track it if you want to… I am on my second EVO, hands down the best car for $30k. ---
