I was in my buddies corvette ZR1 the other day (91 guys... not the new one...) and it is gears even higher than this. It is interesting to know this though. Some states have legal speed limits of 70+ mph where most people travel 80 mph to keep up with the flow of traffic. It is interesting to know a Zo6 corvette gets about the same gas mileage as a honda insight going 80. Not everyone has the time or desire to go 26.4 mph to acheive maximum fuel efficency, so it makes sense they buy the proper car for the speeds they travel on a regular basis.

I wonder what a lower model corevette would be like?
