anybody have a viper motor laying around that i could borrow?
If you want mileage and are willing to sacrifice performance, find a 2.5l
my mileage with the new plugs is 23.

ARe you serious that is rediculously good, but i couldnt do 2.5 where i live, way too many hills id never get where i needed to go, but back on topic, my truck has 195000 + miles on it and is still running strong have not had any mechanical problems with the engine or transmission so yea and i get around 16 mpg in the winter and more in the summer, oh yea i have the 3.9 L v6 and its got plenty of power for my cc, but i also only have 2wd so all factors that you need to consider

after some internet searching i think i will have to go with a chevy again. i kinda wanted to try something different and maybe a little smaller but belive it or not the dakota(ext cab, v8, auto, 4wd) are a little more expensive than the same full size chevy truck. mileage isn't even any better in the dakota.
