There's "buggin about the fuel mileage" at 1.00/L for 87 octane and then there's "buggin about the fuel mileage" at 1.40+/L for 91 Octane.
I'd rather see him slap a turbo on a 3.8L or pioneer one for the new 3.6L DOHC V6 than start out with a 6.0L V8... you'll likely eclipse the stock V8 easily and still do nicely off the throttle.
Now, if gas miraculously goes back down... it's a different story.
Nice car, but it's completely in a different direction from where I would have gone personally.
