so why does the little caption say it gets "...an estimated 22mpg" when the chart shows it getting 16/24 mpg? estimation time is over... the real numbers are in

I assume these numbers are based off of using premium gas? I find it interesting that it says regular is recommended but premium will increase performance. I thought they would recommend premium period.

yeah, there definitely seems to be some discrepancy in terms of MPG on the site, oh well, it will be flushed out soon.

trying to market the car to those that dont want to spend the money on premium gasoline... the good news is that this means there will be tweaking room in the computer... with a good tune, the SS models should be well into the mid 12s in the quarter mile and might be as low as 4.2s 0-60mph

PONYKILR · 03-16-2009, 10:35 AM

Magazines will get the 6-speed down to 4.5 to 60 and I will be more than upset if it doesn't pull at least 0.93 g on the pad. I saw somewhere the 60-0 braking was 116ft. somewhere else... can't remember, but 123 still aint bad...
