i'm moving soon to another town, and i'll be driving on the hwy twice every day and my gt does terrible on gas. im lucky to get 300 hwy miles to one tank.
so my fiance and i were talking yesterday and he suggested swapping an st motor into my car. is it hard? how's the wiring and all that crap? --------------------  |
