I don't know. I got 19-22 in my 505 hp Z06 mixed driving and 26 on the highway.
Pretty lame that a 332bhp motor doesn't do any better in a car of similar weight with lighter tires and driveline components and a lower drag coefficient. That is one of my few sore points about my 370Z purchase. I expected mpg to be around 30 if I babied it on the freeway and 22-24 mixed. |

It's a minor quibble. A foot-note, really. Quite pleased with the 370Z. If I could change anything, it would be the suspension and Nissan's silly 53/47 bias. It's horrible for a car this nice, otherwise.

yup, why do you want 50/50 weight distribution coming out of the corner? I would rather take a mid engine corner and take advantage of its braking and turn-in too
