Now do you still get V8 Gas mileage with those things??Look at the tank....
According to the link above, the 502 gets 18/13.

With a dry weight of 1300lbs and 502hp, 567 lb-ft of torque, do the math... these things have got to be FAST.

I haven't had the chance to ride mine much since I took delivery of it, only about 700 miles due to the monsoon season here in Tennessee the past two weeks. But across the Smokies last week with my wife and I, I averaged 24.3 MPG, and I think it will get better once it is broken in some. It is a wonderful machine, 2-speed automatic tranny w/reverse, and more power than I know what to do with..*LOL* (But it is a blast to try). Mine has a dry weight of 1100lbs., and 385 HP with the big cam ZZ4. Can you tell I love it? If you ever get a chance to ride one, do it. they are extremely easy to ride, balanced perfectly, smooth as silk, and handle extremely well (I know that may be hard to believe, but I rode my '97 Boss through the "Tail of the Dragon" quite often). They are truly wonderful machines, and best of all..they are powered by Chevy! Completely American built here in Tennessee.
