[QUOTE="01silverstang, post: 10697291, member: 21743"] I think if I get the GT500, I will be keeping it for a long time. I think the GT500 by nature lends itself to being held onto, because 10 years down the road it will still be a GT500. I think the horsepower even without boltons will be more than I will ever need. For as much as I get pissed about gas prices I think that while 87/89/91 octane are all over priced, you are right, the difference 89-91 is only 15-20 cents. My commute isn't long and it appears when driven in a reasonable manner the car can achieve decent fuel economy for what it is. State Farm has quote me $146/mo. for insurance. I think that's a little high, and will be checking with Grundy as another member suggested. Automatic was never an option, just can't do it day in an day out. I enjoy driving my wife's auto equipped car when I'm feeling lazy, but couldn't own one. The power seat has become less of a problem. Since my wife will be in the passenger seat, once she sets it where she wants, that's where it will stay. I am still curious if heated seats could be retorfitted. I imagine everything is already set up for it... as mentioned the GT with electronic pack has the heated seats to the left and right of the temp controls. Just need the heater element to go under the seat leather, and controls? [/QUOTE]
