Here's a thought:
Get a late-model C4 or early model C5 'Vette with a stick and instead of the 6.2 or 6.5, find a Benz engine out of a Sprinter van. 150 HP. 280 ft-lb @ 1200-2400 RPM. Much lighter and the RPM is OK for running chevy accessories.
I bet 60 MPG would be achievable. Would that ever give the TDI guys heartburn.
