You will miss it but if you're doing for economics go for the vette. Only half the gas and all the power. Its not like you have children, well, maybe Lambo from time to time, to haul around and you won't be an old geezer running around in a sports car. Truck+Vette+insurance and maint on both will drain you faster the hottest cutie you've ever laid next to.

I feel your pain man...
You could always buy my truck & start with a 408 + 200 shot???
Gone, but not forgotten!
You monkey. Gimme a few weeks and we'll go from a dig.
No I hear ya though - with gas the way it is (and nitrous) it's an expensive hobby. Why not go the route I'm going? Turbo and smaller cam will help your fuel economy. Keep the nitrous for back up.
With the money you spend on gas, you might be able to buy a used Corvette and keep your truck. I bet a very carfully driven Vette could get almost 30MPG. But then again Red has a point.
