That said, I will never be at the track or red light racing. I will enjoy the option to pass cars as needed while getting my 28mpg. Plus, I love a good deal
Interesting your comments about the BMW, I totally agree after driving BMWs for about the past 7 years in 4 cyl configuration. Didn't want any part of another 4 cyl no matter what HP, and just don't need 455 hp , plus I think the RS looks tremendously better without all the SS vents, wings and such.
