Hence you have to be careful about how much fun you have. Unless you have the income to back it up.

About the same as my 300ZX tt day to day. On long trips the 370 is 4-5 MPG better.

Yeah, city driving will give you crap gas mileage. I get about 20-21 with mixed driving. If it's mostly city driving, def in the teens.

Well, it just depends on what you are used to. My old C6 Vette had a huge lumpy cam in it, made 517 RWHP, and would get me 31 MPG on the highway with an average of 18 MPG with mixed driving.

And no, I did not baby that car. I drove the snot out of it.

If anything the Z = NEW TECHNOLOGY. Did everyone forget about the Synchro Rev Match? What's another production car with this capability and affordable?
