This is also the 2nd baddest factory corvette you can buy. Look at an "old man" C5 corvette. My buddy has the Z51 (step down from Z06) C5 and with me driving it having fun dabbling over 100 at times I got over 30 MPG. No, it's not 'stellar mileage' but compared to what my Ford Lightning got at those speeds (see 10 mpg) Yea, it's pretty damned impressive!
