If there was derision in my comment, it was aimed at a) GM, for building a 3800 lb lump of lard and calling it a sports car;
It's important to note that while the 911 and Stingray are right on top of each other on efficiency, the 911 generates 400 horsepower, while the Stingray outputs 455 horsepower--on essentially the same amount of fuel. Manufacturer performance estimates reflect the power differential: Porsche puts the manual-equipped 911 Carrera S's 0-60 mph time at 4.3 seconds; the Stingray's is 3.8 seconds (with the Z51 performance package). Both the 911 and the Stingray offer a seven-speed manual transmission
This is while the Corvette gets 30MPG highway, HA, some "Lump", I'd say...NOT!
