Here are some initial reviews of the LS3 vette Z51. It is seriously making it difficult for me to decide what I want.

The first link is to the article and the second takes you straight to the specs.

mpg...16/26!?!? Oh...right. These are what people will ACTUALLY GET. As of January 2007, the EPA is using a new testing procedure based on today's driving world. That's actually good news, then...16/26...

Also, I like what they said about the Auto tranny's performance. Trails the Tremec by .1 of a second? Cool!

I have a 2003 Z06 and at 90mph on the highway I get 26mpg.

Do they really have the automatic that close to the manual in performance? That is awesome! My Camaro was an automatic and I spent a lot of money to get it shifting the way I wanted.
