watch out for those stealership saleman...they like to rip you off.
I would not recommend a Z. Z is sporty but very inconvient.

Welcome and enjoy your new ride. Milage will be around 20 MPG depending on how heavy your foot is!

foot is very heavy and have plans to turbo the z. i love the super charger and all but the gas milage sucks major ***** and my #8 piston has bad rings thus clogging my spark plug. very annoying.... and i will be tryn to get my D1 licence (drifting licence) and its hard to do with a automatic... but the truck didnt have any real problems drifting...
