if you guys wouldnt run v8 or v10 cars all around the states you wouldn't have that troubles with that gas prices.
i'm european and followin your threads here for quite a while - self running a LS430. Usually in europe people tend to buy diesel cars due to their efficiency. almost 75% of the custumer take a diesel. more power at lower rpms.
new german makes get about 1000 peak torque at 2000 rpm - that at about 7-8 liter gas for 100km. thats whats called efficiency...
dont misunderstand me - just wanted to point out whats possible and not all of you need big blocks to get a hot ride to work...
