I love the fact that the op buys a 8.1L powered anything, and he wants to save money to move out.
Thats so funny.
Trust me dude, when your rent is due, and you get a 300 dollar gas bill, and you are pumping 60 bucks a week into that truck it will get old fast.
For christ sakes, my truck is a 4.6L sohc, and I baby the shit out of it, and it is maintained with synthetic everything, and tuned up. I can’t even get 18 out of it on the highway, and its more like 13-14 around town.
Good thing its paid off.
Also a gto is not a great dailiy driver around here anyways. Trust me, you will be pissed off when its winter, and a salt truck is dumping pounds of salt all over your hood, and your sliding all over the road, white knuckle driving on the 990.
