Not really amazing specs on the new V-6's, it comes from way better electronics and engine controls and electronic fuel injection! Look at the hp and fuel mileage on the new Vettes, Mustangs, Chargers, and other performance type cars and you'll really be amazed!!!! 400+ hp and mid 20's mpg is becoming quite common.

Never have seen a drag number on an "A", but I would imagine it's about the same as a barn door! That A has a lot of things just hanging out in the breeze rather then hidden behind sheetmetal!

Dave, take a look at

I think these high mpg values are due to supercritical fluid fuel injection, although a friend who has a 2007 Corvette only gets 23 mpg. Does anyone know of a kit or Edelbrock accessory to raise the compression and add a high pressure pump with special nozzles on an intake bored for nozzles to put on a small block Chevy?
