Default What kind of gas mileage are you getting in your C6 Z06? (Serious question)

So I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about upgrading to a c6 Z06. Only thing is, it would be my dd. I know you don't buy a z06 for the gas mileage, but seeing as that it would be driven daily, i was curious as to what you guys are getting? Do any of you dd a z06? Anything would be better than my WS6 in gas mileage. Also, how's the reliability as far as parts breaking?

18 to 20 in town

27 to 30 on the highway

Obviously if driving cautiously... a lot worse if you keep your foot in it.

That's what I was hoping to hear. Is yours a daily driver?

No but I easily could. I have put probably 6000 miles on it in 7 months.

my c5z is about the same as the poster above... that is if you can ever keep your foot out of it... i don't daily mine so i usually get on it when i do drive it and i get about 18mpg around town... as far as parts breaking i don't you should expect anything different than any other LS car

If I get one, I was thinking of getting Gforce's stage 1 set up, that way I'll make a little more power, get a better sound, and maybe even better gas mileage since it will breathe better.

I was considering looking at a 2008 viper srt-10, but my friend says his would be a TERRIBLE daily. He said It's very unforgiving.

Hey Bronco, what wheels are those? Those are DAMN sexy.

Forgestar F-14's

You can get a set from Nine Ball. Nice, inexpensive wheel.

I looked into SRT-10's but ergonomically, the Z is much better.
