wow! that is cool...

DansSlk · 11-27-2007

Sounds good

**Ynot** · 11-27-2007

yeah, american cars are always a bargain, cheap to mod and fast.

**alroumi** · 11-27-2007

Thank you Bill for sharing the information, at the end of the day I preffer to be in a Euro car rather than an American car because of the itnerior quality,feel and optional extras such as Suede,carbonfiber and so on.

It will be here in Kuwait within a couple of days for the Car show and the Nissan GTR Skyline as well, I think its a beautiful car and is a future classic.

V8SLK · 11-28-2007

i read today in road and track that chevy is considering bringing back the el camino. there is talk of an ss model with the 6.0 liter ls3 motor.

**alroumi** · 11-28-2007

El camino are cool, I cant wait!

Baron7700 · 11-28-2007

The Camaros Look awesome. And they are a great deal. I always wanted a third gen I-roc cuz i thought they were dead ***y, but american muscle cars in the 80's sucked because of the new emission laws at the time and lack of technology to get around them.

And for the price, and the looks, im sure ill stop by a dealership. (I almost bought a mustang GT before teh SLK, if there was a shelby out two years ago, i may not have been here).

But man 6.0 LS3 and LS9 Motors supercharged, ya the they are cheap and QUICK, but what must the gas mileage be like. At least in the 55 your looking at 17 25, which is the same as alot of v6's in other cars, so a V8 and in a sports car its pretty good.

American Power = Bigger Motor
Bigger Motor = More weight
More Weight = More gas consumption
More Gas Consumption = Possibly higher price to run in gas than an amg.

But its an american icon, and i believe the 6 speed in it is gretag, which are good.

Diff price range but - 2009 Nissan (skyline) GT-R, 480bhp 3.7V6TT

17 and 25? more like 13 and 17....

**dsb** · 11-29-2007

After my reset around 5k ago, I am averaging 18.1mpg. That's a 50/50 mix of highway and city. On Tuesday, I drove 50 miles mainly highway. Since I was so early to my appointment, I took it easy and drove around 60-65mph. I got up to 25.2 mpg! It was picture worthy.

Ditto that, average around 15.5. I tend to have a heavy foot when I drive the 55 though!
