well i was looking at the 03 zo6 the other day and i was so suprised because it got so many miles more then the lightning. the zo6 city was 19 and hwy was 25. but the thing i dont get is that the engine is so big 5.7l so is the supercharge that eats all our gas?????

thanks
sorry if stupid question

 

weight and aerodynamics do a lot of the work...

 

Z06's tend to weigh in at 3,020 lbs. Our trucks weigh over 4600. I weighed mine on the way to the track and it tipped the scales at 5040 lbs!

 

also I think they sfit from first to fourth if not under hard acceleration, not sure but I think they do


Slick

 

A lightning gets worse milage because of the weight, aerodynamics, final gear ratio/rpms, and the blower requires power to spin it.

I'd think the two biggest being the gear ratio and aerodynamics?
