Extra gas? Just wait till you take that Jeep off-road and use Low-Range.

Saw "Traded in the Prius for..." and thought Hallelujah! - then saw that it was this beautiful GT500 with plans to upgrade to to 650hp Never has a great big set of brass cojones been grown faster. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy every moment.

Just curious - if you got the Prius as a hand me down, what is the Mrs. driving - the Tundra?

Hahahahahaha, going from a Prius to a new supercharged V8 Mustang. That thing has what, six times the horsepower lololololololo

The funny thing is if you keep your foot out of it, that Mustang will get you pretty decent fuel economy.

Very true. MPG is the last thing on my mind when I am driving it. Ford did the bare minimum to avoid the gas guzzler tax on them.
