Well the EPA standard has changed, but still... 3200 lbs + low gearing + good aerodynamics + modern, computer controlled V8 = good gas mileage, no matter how you slice it.

For that matter the 4.6 liter engine in my stang wastes more gas than the 5.7 liter engine of the vette
, and the stang has a manual tranny vs the a4 in the vette.

Larry, I have seen the writing on the wall (OK cat cage) Too! Our Nissan Altima and Quest. The Vette has 4 more cylinders and 750lbs on the Altima. Who can "tune" an Altima?

No Corvette (until the soon to be released ZR1) has ever been charged with the gas guzzler tax - not many cars with the performance of the Corvette can say that!
