Yep it runs faster then 12.0 sec 1/4 miles 11.8@130mph on street tires this next year with slicks around 10.5@140mph and it gets 70+mpg. I Love racing Z06 Corvetts and GTO's at the track its great fun to beat them.
You ask why we go for economy. My reason is that in the near future fuel will be over $4.00/gal. again and it won't stop there. I see fuel around $6.00/gal. within the next 5 years. The cost of gasoline is going to change the way Americans do things big time. All of us here are just trying to get ahead of the game.
