1.) A 6.0 Liter engine putting out 400hp will not be as stressed over its lifetime as a 2.4 liter putting out 260hp.
Probably. At highway speeds the tach is at about 1800 rpm not 2500+, but I think its how you drive it.
2.) This car basically has a detuned corvette engine and drive-train.
Nothing detuned about it.
3.) This car can get 27-28mpg if not romped on.
For some, but it has to be pretty flat ground. I've seen 25 over a 100 mile loop.
4.) This car really doesn’t look fast. (sorry, being subjective)
I think it looks pretty fast, without the spoiler.
5.) The engine …may… be able to run regular.
Runs fine on 89 juice. Run it all winter as no sense in buying the good stuff when I can't really use it.
I'll be keeping it for awhile as I really like the car so far. (Had it about 2.5 years.) I've only had trouble with the stick rattling-2 replaced so far. This one is holding up well so far. Assuming that Pontiac continues to import Holdens, I might replace it with another one in a few years, otherwise I'll probably buy German next time.
Hope this helps. No reason to talk yourself out of this car its very good. You'll never regret it.
