I know im just messing around.... you don't buy that kind of truck for MPG.
I hope you do haul or tow shit with it though....
I've never understood dudes who buy the huge truck and never move or haul anything with it.... lol they just become the guy people burden when they are moving to a new house, then they pay more for gas when they commute.

I'll never buy new again, everything under $20K is garbage and everything above is over priced.
Unless we are talking classics, which I feel everyone should consider. Most are less than 20K, are easier to maintain, and are cool to drive b/c nobody else has one.

Now that's a nice Mustang, I'll bet you'd look good in it.
Holy Shit I love that car!!!

I'm assuming you guys are talking about 16 in the city? Should be able to get a lot more on the highways right?

I don't do anything but haul ass in that truck. It has 360 hp. I haul/tow with my F350 truck or E350 van.

The new SS Camaro is pretty ridiculous. I drove one over the weekend and it is on another level than the Mustang.
The new WRX is also an option for performance/mileage/utility.

I like the new SS but the price tag is way up on them. They cut weight and increased motor and suspension. Getting nice reviews too.
I would prefer it over the Mustang.

It's not a boat like the 5th gen, the Ford or the Challenger. The SS is comparable to the GT350 that is going to command a much bigger price tag.

I think it's same motor as the C7, not sure but that would increase cost for sure.

My favorite teams
I sat in a new Challenger Scat Pack a buddy was looking at, the interior is better than any Chrysler car I've been in in ages, but still not as nice as I would want for a car commanding that price. And yeah, being in the Challenger it feels like a massive car, I didn't drive it so no commentary there.

Yes, it has the same LT1 and a similar trans. It's built on the Cadillac ATS chassis. The ZL1 will have the LT4 that's in the Z06.

I would like to drive a Hellcat one time. Too damn close to when I put a BB funny car engine in my El Camino. One of the most fun stupid things I ever did. At least the Hellcat has great brakes.

That's funny. I had a friend that raced go carts... He put a 440 Polaris snow Mobile motor on a cart with paddle breaks. Scariest thing I ever saw...
The new performance cars have breaks and suspensions to handle it but you pay for it.

That Coyote 5.0 engine is special. My problem is I like the way it growls when I'm hitting it and having fun.
