Default Hate to say it!

Well i hate to say this but im going to get a turbo 4cyl or v6 , I love my stang but its more of a show car to me as it never sees the rain and only see the track once and a while , and i only drive it on the week end and the gas milage is very bad , im thinking of selling my car or keeping it , (not sure yet) and buying a turbo import to drive , something that get 25miles to the gallon , what do guys think?

i'm with dime, keep the stang, and if you realy want 25 MPG get like an SRT or a Cobalt, atleast those are resonable quick unlike most "tunner" cars, plus it's this a domestic so you can still goto the gas station instead of meijer and have to buy some uncle ben's to put in the tank

I agree, I wouldn't get rid of the car if you can help it. Solid fox's are harder and harder to come by.

did u really build ur car up just to sell it over gas mileage?

a modded turbo 4 banger or v6 isnt going to get much better gas mileage... if any at all.

You can always find RWD imports. Maybe the 300ZX or something of that sort. Wish you the best of luck on what you do.
