Thanks guy's, having a front wheel drive with this kind of power (263 hp, 280 tq, stock) takes some getting use to. First and second gear will try to rip the steering wheel out of your hand so hold on tight. Third and fourth pull like crazy and if you take it all the way through six gear you can top out the speedo(see attached pic). It does handle like a gocart, corners are fun. If I drive it like a decent citizen it will give me 28-30 mpg.
At the end of the week when I jump back into the king ranch, I feel like I am piloting the space shuttle oh so roomy.
