Congrats on the SS. I had a chance to check out my son's SS this weekend. It is an awesum car, but that being said I have no problems with owning a V6. It did not make me want to go out and buy a V8, but I have to admit I am very tempted to trade for a 1LT Convertible.

No trades in my future, but "if", I would love a V-6 vert!

Probably a combo of things. City-driving with barely any highway, quick acceleration into boost, etc.

11 might be a slight exaggeration. But close. The computer won't calculate my MPG correctly any more since the supercharger freaked it out. But hey, I got a free skip-shift delete mod out of it lol.

Myth based on lack of real world double blind comparisons.
