numbers wont be accurate. in any tranny you want the 1:1 gear, which is 4th on the m6 as stated.

Exactly. Thats why with the M6 the 6th gear is .50:1 giving it 34mpg, even with a cam.

From what i hear autos only get 26-28mpg.

Those are some really low dyno numbers. I guess that was stock along time ago.

nope that was car bought 3 weeks ago and strapped down. car with 94k on the clock all stock. engine temp to operating temps (190-205). hood closed on the 250 numbers. after all that's the way you drive it. i later changed plugs and wires and got 10 more hp.
