Whoa, I call BS on whomever wrote that statement!

I dont know where you get your fuel economy numbers but I have owned both a Corvette and Trans-Am and they never got any where near this fuel economy! I was lucky to get 18 in town and maybe 24 on the hi-way if I kept my foot out of it.

Both those cars were fast in a straight line but as far as handling, the Z is completely in an whole other class. Both the Vette and the Trans Am drove like boats in comparison! Raw torque is the only thing these cars have on the Z.

The old saying " Theres no replacement for displacement" is a very out dated term that no longer applies in our day in age.
