Sure, it will burn fuel like nobody's business...at full throttle. But it's expected to get 20 mpg highway...that's insane for that much hp.

20 mpg is not difficult with a 4500 lb car on 20 inch wheels and an 8 speed torqueflite with a 0.67 8th. I guess the 6 speed manual doesn't do as well because the gas guzzler tax jumps from $1700 with the automatic to $2100 with the stick.
However, the largest impediment to decent mileage is still your right foot, as it seems to grow much heavier when you drive a seriously fast car.
This is a seriously fast car.
I suspect they're losing money on every one they sell. It's a halo vehicle, made to boost brand prestige and showroom traffic, and should do that well.
