its not fast... fast is a 10 second car, this will run mid/high 14s if i try to blow it up, or 15 with an average driver... im beating most EPA standards in it, right about 16 mpg which is whats stated, 28 freeway... not bad for a 4100 pound car... ive had the MPG up to 18 but that was when i first got it...

300 HP/295 FTLBS Northstar, is/was one of the most powerful front wheel drive cars ever made... just now the last 2 or so years have they started making more FWD cars in the 300-+ range...

like i said tho i drive it like a granny, the power is there when i need it...
