Now back to my mess. I feel like my soul is trapped in a woman and my heart is running after another.

SRT dealer here always get this end of year madness so Im sure that he will keep me something after I get down to the Chevy dealer nerves and squeeze his heart a bit.

Geography was not my strong suit lol, somehow I thought you had said saudi arabia, what you said was middle east, my bad haha.

NAAAAA gas is not a factor. Indeed, I work for an oil company myself

I pay 30 cents per litre.

Funny!

I still remember the pictures you posted of your homeland. Very beautiful...maybe I'll see it some day.

On a 500 mile trip I averaged 27.2 MPG going between 75-85 MPH. I do have a standard transmission though. But the autos are not that far behind with the Cylinder De-activation.

But who buys a performance/sports/muscle car concerned about MPG's? What is MPG's anyway??

If you can get the challenger srt for the price of an ss it's a no brainer. It's more comfortable (but heavier) and has more power.

They're normally $10,000 to $15,000 more then an SS. Took a ride in my buddies R/T and it rides like a caddy compared to my lowered SS! I'm pretty sure with an SRT you won't have to spend thousands beefing up the rear end either.

I know this is a Camaro forum but if you can get a 6.4 SRT 8 for the price of a SS get the SRT 8 because that's a great deal.

the 6.4 motor is a beast and is way underrated, probably puts out more than 500 at the crank. however, its very heavy so if you are looking for handling then it wouldn't be the best choice.

it all comes down to preference -- drive both and see which you like better.

The Super Bee is even cheaper than the Camaro.

You are most welcome. Just avoid the Summer because it is much hotter than the Mexican Desert

I would be lost without a 5gen camaro. Especially, if I see somebody in one. I love the 4 gauge pack, HUD, and hundred of other things on the camaro. But get what you want . I like the challengers and a dealer was telling me he would give me a 2013 new 392 chally which was 52,000 wfor the same price of a 2012 1ss/RS which was 42,000 that they had at their Chevy dealer. But to me its not about the price difference . Everytime I see a camaro it make me wish that I was driving mine. Mines is a weekend car.

Im glad you were able to read my post...that is exactly what I said.

The e-brake has NO business being on the floor beside a clutch pedal in a modern day built/designed car, sorry.
