How many mpg do you think this car gets? Do you think it actually has 400+ hp?

Really dependant on your driving. You drive hard, can be as bad as 14, you drive easy and it can be as good as 30 on the highway cruising at 70. The boost is exactly what kills you.

Seriously, if you are worried about gas costs with it, thats going to be the least of your worries. These cars are not easy to maintain. And plus they REQUIRE premium.

Do you think its worth 5000? It has the 6 bolt and all the mods and it seems like its fast as hell. The only thing wrong with it is the convertable part. I was trying to avoid buying a conv. but if it looks alright and is fast im cool with it.

Throw some rims on it and drop it an 1 inch or so and it should look pretty sick.

Yeah thats about the right price.

The thing you should be most worried about is the front wheel drive part. If i was you i would get a GSX

IMO i dont think its 400+ as it sits. Because with only the 660's and only tuning with an safc i dont think you could get that. I bet it would only dyno about 350 to the wheels. However it is definetly capable of over 400 with a good tune because right now he is only tuning off the EGT which is kinda hard to do with accuracy. Id say getting a little bigger injectors, and dsmlink youd get right over 400.

Also if you read the car is already lowered....so no need to do that, just rims
