I am not saying go to a V6TT setup for the Corvette, I would never want to see the V8 disappear from that car. I am saying lets take a step back and look at making the best V8 using modern technology...

Well my last road trip, 4 hours, I got just under 25MPG in my 400whp SC 370z doing an average of 85mph so I think the Z is fine.
