so having a car that is cool first of all, too has power and then gets good gas mileage... doesn't get much better'n that!

Exactly! The SS looks great, will have enough power, the room for my family, and hopefully there will be a nice aftermarket so I can still play. I had a 99 Firebird Formula running 13.2 and a 79 Monte Carlo with a 350 crate motor running 13.8. Great cars, but just not practical for me anymore. I would love to be able to buy a Pontiac G8, or the new Camaro or Challenger, but they would have to be toys at this point. No way of fitting the family comfortably, not to mention I am in the Central NY snow belt. Maybe if I hit the lottery I will buy all 3 of them.
