Default love the Z

Well it was finally time for an upgrade! Ive been runnin with my thirdgen RS 305 auto and runnin 10 somethings (in the 1/8th) for far too long. Ive been over at thirden.org and know about all there is to know about those cars so now that ive got my '00 Z28 LS1 6spd with 65,000 miles its time to start learning about these.

Just figured i'd say hello and my first question is: I drove the car home from Chicago @70mph 1500RPM's 210 miles and when i got home my mileage was 28.5... did that seriously happen with a 300+ hp 5.7??? Haha. It just blows my mind ... i can't drive that 305 anymore.

Yes many people cant understand that these cars CAN get good gas mileage and still smoke a lot of cars out there
