First off, when you have a vehicle(no matter if its a truck or car) that has a big engine, you should always let your engine warm up before use. If you cant wait 5 mins to warm it up, you should drive it slow at first, low rpm's, and wait till your engine temp gets up a lil. Doing stop and go traffic on these big engines can also put added strain and they seem to want to jump idle a little. Think how every 2-5mins they are having to go from idle to 1st, 2nd, maybe 3rd just to brake again and do it all over again. I advoid all stop and go if possible. If you want a quick car that is designed for high traffic and for potential high speeds should go with a turbo 4 cyclinder. These are large displacement torque machines. This is why I could not imagine how bad it would suck to drive in the city stop and go with a supercharger. It is a bad ass looking car that has more than enough go power. However, in stop and go, I spend most of my time yelling at evryone braking and all the red lights just because I know what it is doing to my car, my mpg's, and my drivers fatigue. This, as well as the influx of more drivers, is why most big displacement cars are getting automatics. If it is a burden to drive in your area, you may start to wonder why you got it...That is until you get to the highway or open road where it makes you get a smile from ear to ear. It is a fun car to drive on the highway, but do to the large displacement, manual, and the plentyful blindspots I would not want to buy this if I had lived in a city with lots of lights and stop and go traffic.
