Follow me into the world of the 370Z. Its less expensive and I'm getting 22-23 mpg, but there is no room for that car seat. Hard to go from 25+mpg in a Si to 14mpg in a Camaro. It is a nice car though.

What are your power goals? What do you want to use the car for? Any mpg you need? How much are you willing to spend?

Power goals.....eh....get to 500hp......I wanna use the car to drive it, lol. MPG is not a HUGE matter but, i know I'd be going down if it goes through. How much am I willing to spend on what (performance or car)?


LOL, she's getting cold feet about me getting it now.......if I don't get approved, I might go look into the 2010 Si's.......4dr, TW. Been lookin around and for the money and the hp, i couldn't find anything that matches the ss. Not saying its not out there, i just couldn't find it...............and Ty, yea, i would love to get into a Z but, no back seat...LOL.

Like I said on the other forum. I was looking into something where I could have a kid and something that wouldn't require too much money to mod but still have plenty of grunt. If I were you, I would look into the srt8 charger, 300c, and magnum. Those three have PLENTY of room, they're heavy yes, but all put down 425/420 stock and gain hp/tq easily. They are very well rounded muscle/family cars. Top speed on the srt8 300c is 173mph. If I ever get rid of the evo, I'll be getting that b/c it's classy and powerful with toooonnnnnsss of room. Mpg sucks donkey balls, but it's the price you pay for a car that has it all to an extent. I got on the forums for that car and the only real problems are with the first year they came out and everything that was an issues has tsbs out for them (something that you don't see at most other automakers; especially mitsu, lol). Electrical like the bulbs burning out on the controls in the interior and needed re-soldered are the main things. The motor, tranny, and diff are amazing. Alot of money for rear tires as you can go through them quickly if you play. I like them b/c they're the poor man's rolls royce. lol.
