I’ve heard a couple of people I’ve talked to though that aren’t real happy with the DoD of the V8. Said its not that great in terms of highway gas mileage. ---

Displacement on demand or not, I think it’s kind of silly to buy a 300+ HP V8 coupe if gas mileage is one of your big concerns. ---

There really aren’t any cars that stand out right now that I would like. ---

You should buy an automatic vette. I heard the traction control is great. Ask Darkstar. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sold-the-vette-whats-next/198664.md?page=1)
