I don't think I want something that big and powerful, though....I know it sounds strange, but what about the idea of a straight 5 cylinder Mercdedes? Those are pretty tight and efficient.
I'm not looking for a tremendous amount of torque and exceeding power, I'm just looking for something that I can scoot around in and get decent mileage on the highway (I do a lot of traveling and it would be really fun to do it in style--in a Stovebolt)
Thanks for all the info guys!
