I dont have a GS yet so I cant say for sure, but I'm looking forward to hearing about others who may travel before me.

I want a V8 twin turbo if it's reliable and doesn't consume gas like crazy. My friend has a kick-*** turbo car. And it consumes half of the tank from Monterey Park to Diamond Bar. I wouldn't want to stop at gas station every 100 miles. ;p

RA, if you want more power, you need more fuel to get it.

If you are worried about the gas milage, you probably should not get TT on the V8. It is always a trade off. You usually need bigger injectors which turns into more fuel consumption. I was getting 550cc injectors, but decided to get 660cc due to the simple fact of having some room for possible 600+RWHP application.

I am definitely looking at TT as an option down the road..... I will HAVE to have a daily driver (probably an SUV) beforehand so that the GS can become the weekend 550RWHP cruiser/killer!!!!!
