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.
Yup.
Corvette 7th gen 14-17?
Triple over drive.
Version 1 7th: 0.50
Version 2 7th: 0.42

Interestingly they have pretty much used the same chassis and drivetrain since 1997. vvt and some changes, but besides the 0.42 ratio change a lot of it is extremely similar. In my mind the C7 is the C5 version 3.
