Sports cars are at a definite disadvantage in a mileage competition, but I guess if you are comparing to EPA the playing field is leveled. It will be interesting to see how you guys do.
Honestly, I think sometimes we have an advantage. Of course not always, but thinking of a lot of efficient vehicles, a Prius working out five extra miles is harder than for us, I think. And those five miles will do more for us.

Sitting with a 2012 Mustang GT fascia on my floor, bottom portion taped and sealed, ready for foam, I think my drag will be dropping quite a bit.

My thinking may be flawed, but with lower expectations, it's easy to succeed. And it may be kind of late, but what do teams do? Lol
