And what are we talking about, make model and year, and if possible transmission and rear end gearing, please.

Corvette 7th gen. There are 8 generations, typically referred to as C1-C8. The C7 has incredible gearing. I believe the rear end for the auto is a 2.56 with a 0.67 6th gear, while the manual has a 3.42 rear end with a 0.42 7th gear. Tires are P285/35R19.

EDIT: I believe I recall seeing the C7 as being able to break 40mpg from the factory (at the right speed) with a 6.2L pushrod V8.
