Default The Good and Bad vs The Z06 :)
Well I live in Southern Cali and it has been raining non-stop since last night (very hard)...

The good, Gotta love the car in the rain It's unbelievable...

The bad, I average 20-21mpg in the Z06 and 15-16mpg in the S4 (I don't nanny the Z06 either, so no comments please lol)

Default I don't understand how it's possible for the gas mileage to be so abysmal...
People say they don't care...but 5 mpg less than 5.7 liters of Detroit iron is pathetic.

Put an 800 lb sandbag in the back of the 'vette and then compare fuel consumption. :-)

Weight and gearing. Detroit gives you a 5 speed with a stupid tall 6th gear.

Default Weight I'll buy for 2.5 mpg, gearing I won't.
Any respectable vette owner should have done away with the 1-4 upshift within a week of owning the car.

Yes 6th gear is useless other than getting better mpg

Default 60 mph gives you about 1300 RPM in the Corvette. What does the Audi spin?
About twice that much.
