When I got married in 1986, a good friend of mine had just bought the new corvette.
He drove from Dallas to San Antonio with his wife to come to my wedding.
He's telling me how he got 26mpg driving like a madman down hwy 35.
he had me come uot and look at the car and the display........I was impressed!!
He and I had been racing 1979 Mazda RX7s in Showroom Stock SCCA SoloII.
Needless to say, that Vet V8 was a stepup from the Rotary motor!! The Rotary had a 4bbl carb that opened pretty quick (I wear a size 13......) I think the best mileage I ever got was 18mpg!!!!!!
The Vet is a classic example of the use of lightweight material, overdrive gears and aerodynamics.
