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!
