if You do the math on gas mileage alone, You aren't saving much and what's the recovery cost down sizing to a "PUTTER". I had a 498 stroker and it lumped at lights but pulled away without hesitation and NEVER lost a street drag to anything. I'm kicking Myself for getting rid of it. My 2 cents on life and old hot cars is " if it looks good;it BETTER haul ass" 318 is a nice dependable motor but a boat anchor for drags. (that should open up another topic)

SO...My next car will not have a 498 stroker.....512 is on the horrizon......hmmmm....can You say "neck snap"...lol
