On the interstate, I have calculated 27.8 mpg using the ammt. of fuel consumed vs. distance traveled.

Our dealer, Criswell, drives a Callaway SportTruck every day and thinks his fuel economy may actually be better than non-sc'd due to the fact it isn't always downshifting to a lower gear. The torque is useable across the rpm range and so that's probably true - fewer downshifts, lower rpms = better fuel economy.

That's a great time, I guess Mike can drive the strip as good as the road course. WHich tires did you have on it? I'm loving my new Callaway GS

Great time and it was nice talking to you guys. I was the guy with the JSB who suggested you run in the lane with the guys who were running slicks. I actually videoed your time on my phone, but the time can't be seen. I ran four consecutive 11.7s @119

Hard to beat that combo of power, reliabilty, and performance.
Stick or auto ?
If an auto, you have a convertor in it ?

A manual transmission makes it even more impressive (to me).
Which clutch are you using ?

I'd love to have a new Callaway Z06 (currently have a C6 Z06)....just couldn't afford one right now

Congrat's on an amazing car
