Kinda? They might buy the 6 for that. I kinda did, since I have a 30+ mile commute, but really it was that creature comforts won out over power. Had I the budget at the time I would have gotten a 2SS for sure though. Love my 6 though and that's all that matters in the end.

As for mileage, I usually get 19-23 depending on how bad traffic is that week. If there's lots of stop and go it can get pretty bad. Never dropped below 19 though.

MPG/Performance ratio, yes. A stock SS is great gas mileage for a 426HP 6.2L V8!

This was my thought process as well. That and cost of the V6 vs the V8.

It's a second car, but mid twenties is an added bonus.
