That's awesome.

The most powerful and the most fuel efficient vehicle that I will own will be my SS.

Those are very impressive numbers for the power output of the respective mills....I am not a GM fanboy, but my hat is off to them for this!!

12.9s at 111mph sounds great to me ... As a matter of fact, that is what I was hoping to see for the manual ..

Actually I ordered a V8 and I'm pleased to see the numbers up to 24 and 25!!

Also, I thought Manual's got BETTER gas mileage than auto's? Especially with the included 6th gear for highway cruising......

Yep...but I suppose not in this case. V8 has that AFM and VVT, ya know.

But, back to the OP's topic...

I TOLD YA SO!

The AFM in the auto gives it the edge on the highway.

And Jalopnik has posted the numbers and a comparison of the big3 muscle cars.

I like the fact it can run on regular. Not saying I will but if gas goes crazy again I can do that.

I love it, better than expected gas mileage, under 13.0 quartermile (even though I will have to practice lots to get that time ), and I can use regular IF I WANT TO. It's always nice to have the flexibility if you are going on a road trip because with the cruise set, the handful of HP lost due to a lower octane gas doesn't matter.

This is my first thread read through today, and I am loving it so far!!!!!!
