I think you guys are somewhat over-enthusiastic. My 2.3/5mt has to be driven carefully to attain 35+ and my 2.3 a/ts will only get near 35 on the very best of days and my 2.0 a/t gets 35 driven "normally" and over 40 driven very carefully; these are all cars quite a lot smaller, lighter, have fwd, and are more aero than the Chevelle. Someone mentioned if one car got 27 then 35 should be easy... Nah, I disagree. 35 is a LONG way from 27.

Still, 30 would be a good achievement. And if it can get 35 I'd be happy to be wrong!
