The gas mileage sucks ass if you put out its 5.3 second 0 to 60 MPH often but if you drive it without using the turbo then the mileage is in the mid twenties.

If I didn't have a fast car, I would definitely go for a huge ass V8 though. Caprice Classics, Towncars, Crown Vics, etc. are my cup of tea when driving a car that is supposed to haul you around instead of slaughtering people at stop lights.

The thing that pushes you back is torque....I'd think an LS2 has more than an SRT-4. Also, LS2 GTO's get like 27 MPG highway, and 21 in town, good friend of mine has one.
