Yeah you get those figures because under easy driving the Z06 automatically skips from first to 4th and 6th gear is extremely tall.

Regardless, I guess the idea here isnt just gas mileage, it was just something to take into account when choosing a new car. I think the Z06 is a great car, just the feel is not my cup of tea.

GT-R doesnt have cup tires either...plus if it puts a beating on the ZR1 then we know the z06 doesnt stand much of a chance.
I was just pulling up the numbers. Both cars are capable of the same mileage, but that's not why we buy these cars, is it?

And true, the GTR really battles the ZR1 for performance.
