Relative to the cobra or not you will be in no way, shape or form saving any money. With the additional fuel, insurance, tag and maintenance you will probably never recoup the cost of the second vehicle. The math doesn’t work. The difference in fuel cost between a vehicle that gets 28mpg and 18mpg is only $720 for an entire year. However, do as you wish, it is your money. You will need plenty of it when the gf and her family wises up and drags you in front of a judge for child support. :kaboom:

I thought the same thing about a kid being in her car more than mine. But my gf's kid rides in my car more. Mostly because well...
I refuse to let my girlfriend drive unless I'm completely wasted. If I'm sober her driving scares the ever loving shit out of me. She drives a supercharged Grand Prix.. And well she apparently thinks supercharger means "OH MY GOD I HAVE A 1000 HORSEPOWER MONSTER!!!!!!!!!" so yeah
I daily a Mazda6s, and it's perfect. Great interior, handles great, 4 doors, 30+ mpg all that fun nonsense.

LOL jackasses....I never claimed to be faster than a SS or SRT4...I know they are "faster" but since I don't measure my dick by the HP I make like a lot of Cobra owners do, it doesn't bother me. I accept that either of these cars will win in a street race or drag race but since I don't care to do either of those things I won't and don't get butt hurt if one beats me. At the end of the day I am glad I'm driving a Camaro vs a Cobalt or Neon. I would rather lose in a Camaro than win in a Neon.
AHAHAHAHA coming from the guy that has a screen name of "Camaro_94" thanks for the laugh today bud. It was a good one.
You say you can't make power out of a LT1 Camaro??

Damn, how long is your mullet bro?
:lol::lol::lol:
I don't see how you can even start to figure how much money I will save on gas in one year. You don't know how much i drive in a year , and on top of that you never gave the number you used to come up with $720. So let me help you out.
This is what you should of said.
If you drive X amount of miles a year you will only save $720 in gas. This amount of money is not sufficient enough to justify the purchase of another car in my eyes.
See that wasn't so hard was it? And once again i have stated multiple times that i want another car because it will be more reliable than my cobra. I DD the cobra for years and i just don't want to do it anymore. the car sucks in the rain!!
You must be such a great judge of character to even have the balls, or stupidity (I'm betting on the former, though it is easy to act so tough when your on the inter web) to imply what you did in that last sentence. Her family is ecstatic for the both of us and cant wait for her to have our baby. I feel its not hard to jump to the conclusion that you are projecting your own insecurities and deficiency onto me.
Lol my SRT4 on 91 is faster than my '01 GT was.
Which is it? Cause your OP clearly states that you want to "save money on gas." Your words, not mine. :read:
Also, i seriously doubt that a 10yr old dodge and a car responsible for a few deaths due to ignition switches are good choices when looking for something "reliable."
First off, you were the one who started with the insults. What i told you was 100% true. So not sure why you got your panties all wet about me telling you that neither of these vehicles made economic or practical sense. There were also other posters suggesting something more practical such as a focus or a civic but you ignored these as well. :sleeping:
oh I wish you were around me. my bffs skittle. runs door to door with my hci c6z off the bottle. we have not ran each other on kill modes yet.

Win. Front end of ****ing SRT4's look like they are angry all the time when you remove the grilles and have a fat fmic sticking out.
Any money you save on gas will be offset with the price to insure one of these pocket rockets. Buy a 4 door Civic (non-Si) and get 40 mpg hwy and a much cheaper insurance rate.
yup they are bad ass fun toys with a big turbo. look angry with the right setup. this was years ago I had a 05 with a .50 trim. gave it to my brother. he went to a GTK500 turbo and made 520 on the stock motor with cams, fuel, ect. it suprised a LOT of people.
Agreed.

Yup, dont gotta tell me, I had 3 buddies with SRT4's, from S2 w/toys to AGP 50trims on e85. The latter made my cobra with numbers in sig look slow.
I constantly think about trading the fusion for one, id still keep 4dr's and gain power and a manual, drop build quality, comfort and mileage though. If I could find one at a dealer with under 40k on it, that was pristine and high single digits id do it. The ones my buddies had were dead nuts reliable even modded, they never had any bs issues other than the tps issue (fixed with extending the harness).
im actually a little worried to run my buddies yellow one... we are literally dead even him on 25psi and me no bottle. kill mode will be very interesting. we have had this battle for 10 years. back when he was on a 50 trim I had a c5z. looong friendly battle and we go above and beyond to help eachother make the cars faster for eachtother lol
