Sometimes the size of the engine has nothing to do with the quantity of fuel it burns. In addition, those motors make a LOT more power and torque NA than is at all possible for the VQ37. Boost either of them and the result is the same as NA; the LS1 will make more power and get better economy than the VQ37.


LS1 corvette - 19 / 28 for manual and 18 / 26 for auto

2009 Base Vette - 16/26

370Z 18/26 for both manual and auto


Not a lot of difference in fuel mileage, so that aurgument is kind of moot. And who buys a sports car for the gas mileage anyway?
