Well finally I got time yesterday to take the Viper on a little cruise to check out gas mileage. I got a amazing 27 miles per gallon. Was running 6th gear at 70 mph 1800 rpm.s. Not once did I beat this car off. But I can tell one thing when ya get in it, Shes like a rocket taken off.

I know that the new Vette's are rated at 26 mpg hiway, but that's not a 500 hp, V10 either. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by Tony57  -  09/18/2007 08:33 PM In the z06 vette nside every Z06 is an LS7 aluminum-block V8. It puts out an SAE-certified (Society of Automotive Engineers) 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Hand-built at the GM Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., the LS7 engine contains a litany of racing-derived components, such as an eight-quart dry-sump lubrication system, titanium valves and connecting rods, forged-steel crankshaft with six-bolt main bearings, high-profile cam, and Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machined heads for better air/fuel flow. Even with its performance, the engine does not incur a federal government gas-guzzler penalty. close wind Tony57 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Hillsboro, Missouri   Posted by hotrodgene  -  09/18/2007 08:55 PM I had one (96)and the best I ever got was 12mpg and about 10mpg in town.I would say you have set a record.Never heard of one getting over 14mpg and I still have two friends who own one.
