I'd want the turbo cabriolet. I don't know if I could ever have my favorite/fun car not have an open top :o

well I would say that a Playboy Playmate that was being impersonated by a transvetite may look the same from the waist up but are still COMPTELELY different.

Engine placement really does make a car completely different no matter what's going on up front.

Based on my experience, this is a joke.

However, if he were fired out of a canon and was going with the wind, downhill, in neutral, perhaps.

Sorry, this defies logic.

LOL

I have NEVER averaged 28 mpg in my lowly 3.2!!!!!
and that's with lightweight wheels, weekly checking of tire pressure, lighter seats and being the only passenger 80% of the time.
I short shift 90% of the time as well..wonder if that helps or hurts.

I disagree. They're not completely different.

woops! Correction
 
Sorry my memory wasn't what it used to be. He said 24mpg averaging 65mph in 6th. Also it's 600hp. :o

I hope you're talking about the car, not the Playmate.
