Was looking to possibly buy a Shelby

Oh I wasnt saying the GT-R gets babied to get those mpg. All I was saying is that his comment about it being as gas efficient as the GTR should be labeled for what it is and not just throw out there the way it was because that almost makes it sound like the 7L V8 uses same gas as the 3.8 TTV6. Yeah you get those figures because under easy driving the Z06 automatically skips from first to 4th and 6th gear is extremely tall.

Regardless, I guess the idea here isnt just gas mileage, it was just something to take into account when choosing a new car. I think the Z06 is a great car, just the feel is not my cup of tea.

GT-R doesnt have cup tires either...plus if it puts a beating on the ZR1 then we know the z06 doesnt stand much of a chance.
