But you said you were at 100 mph in sixth year!

Mystic ZR-1 · 07-01-2016

I can go 100 in 1st as well as 6th!
The gas mileage at 100 in 1st ain't too good though!
That's approx 14000+ RPM!

And the car is still a blast to drive.

No tax = valet key(bimodel), (EPA Smoke & Mirrors), blast to drive, yep for sure must be at least 10yrs of permagrin now, I got my $ worth, resale no problem, drive em, have fun, not a piece of garage furniture

The truth is; it is the skip shift that beat the gas guzzler tax.

Yeah that thing we all get rid of...

15-16 mpg around town with 4.10s. 21-22mpg on the hwy at 75-85 mph. 444 CHP.

Normally when it's all said and done from tank to tank I hover between 17-19.

I literally just got done driving from Marc Haibeck's shop to Indianapolis and got 27.4 though. (Old school math, not trip computer math).

As I remember several years ago I set cruise at 103 in sixth on level road and and the instant mpg said 20.5.

I have also done the math on paper and pencil and found the average mpg on the computer within a half mpg of being correct.

My 2011 Cadillac CTS-v 6 speed manual gets best of 21 hiway. But it is turning 1800 rpm at 60 and my z is turning only 1400. Cadillac weighs 700 more pounds and pushes more air too!
