Well, welcome aboard. I like the truck; it's not quite my style, but it definitely looks clean & well-put together. As far as mileage, I'm sure it gets better than the 5-6 city your truck turns in And you'll be way faster than the 56 mph your 69" tires cut your max speed down to - you'll top your Redline out before that beast will hit 60! And they are fast - I had my girl going on and on about how fast it was (we hit 120 mph before we were actually off the on-ramp). They're fun, but not for everybody; test drive one, see how you feel about it, and get ready to pay $3 a gallon for gas. Let us know how it turns out.

good car, hard to learn how to drive (still havent gotten how fwds handle down), lots of littel nuances alot of people find annoying, but its just part of owning a car such as this. i mean all the bugs have yet to be worked out, (see my thread about my bad ground), some cars break, others don't, just hope you got one that wasn't built on a monday or friday!

That truck is TIGHT! Looks like you're in AZ, I hope you take that sucker into the desert!

Car is great, there are some minor fit and finish issues that people have, and a few people have had some ongoing issues, but I haven't had a single one. It's not the greatest 1/4 mile warrior, to me, but MAN can it stop and turn. The speed isn't so bad either. Check our dyno charts, that 205hp is a crock too...

Got mine for $22,000ish (Window sticker is somewhere) All I had was Floor Mats and Advanced Audio though. I also ordered mine the day after the first Red Lines where at Dealers. It was so close to bein the first that It was one of the first 231 produced.
