Anything over the 450hp will drop the gas mileage, thats something I can do without, like my 33mpg's

So it is like having a V8? Can we still put regular gas in it? Sorry about all the stupid questions. SC has never crossed my mind until a few weeks ago.

Yes, what I was referring to was the fact that the v8s have a lot of aftermarket fueling options
