Predict the Z/28 EPA Fuel Economy Numbers
 

Ok, tongue in cheek, but as Mikamaro's thread opines it's quiet in here and that's the only thing no has given a crap about or discussed until the horse stopped breathing.

I vote 12/18

LOL

My guess is 16/21

I guess Track, 4mpg.....Pit area, 9mpg....lol

Thanks #3...
Whats the Z06 mpg?

15/24 I think. But that is a much lighter and much more aerodynamic car.

12 & 18 sounds right

That is a good question, to be honest, I figured that a track only car wouldn't have this info listed lol

12&21

I think anything below 10,000 pound GVW has to have numbers.

Yep.

And 12/19

So the Z/28 LS7 should at 15/19

Abit worse than i thought...

15/22 I'll take a high guess. :popcorn:

We're doing this Price is Right style right? Highest without going over?

And you might win:-'' A NEW CAR!!!!!''
(Annoncer's Description) -''This brand new chevrolet Camaro Z/28 comes without air conditioning, without a radio and with no sun roof!
All this for a retail value of $71,995!! ''
It could be yours IF the price is right!

LOL - MSRP of $71,995 :pound:

lol...you know how The game show boost the prices!
Let's hope GM won't.

Always:thumb:

13/22

12/17

+ gas guzzler tax by the look of it.

That would be my guess.

7 liter motor burns a ton of fuel even at idle verse a 6.2 liter motor. Also watch the video of the run at The Ring. Car looks to be topping out at a little over 160 mph (166ish) on the final straight. (For as long as they ran at that speed I would guess they would have gone up another gear if they had one) That to me looks like the sixth gear is setup to be not that much of an overdrive. (Makes sense on a track car.) With low close ratio gearing inside the trans coupled with a 3.91 final set my guess is the motor will be turning some major revs at highway speeds. So my guess is fuel mileage is going to suck but track car so who cares. :thumbsup:

Track 3 city 11 highway 17

14/23

6th gear is talllllllll.....;-)

Z06 was rated at xx/24....and no way it gets poorer fuel economy than the ZL1. Power = gas = fuel economy.

Isn't the trans and rear gearing the same as the 1LE? If so the only difference is the 376 vs 427, with maybe a little extra tire and down-force added.

I believe so. Tran just posted specs of the gearing. If I recall correctly 6th gear is 0.5

Will it have 1st-4th SkipShift?....That's a mileage gimmick....

Bingo.


Less gimmick - more inconvenience...but it'll have it most likely, either way. They new the ZL1 was going to get hit with the gas tax no matter what, and they still equipped the 'feature'.

14/17 i'd bet on it

15/20

I don't see it being worse than the ZL1, it won't be much better though.
It probably saved buyers a couple hundred bucks by keeping them out of the next GG tax bracket.

15/22 is my guess.

14/18

I predict it "Doesn't matter to anyone whose planning to buy one".

Official Numbers are out!!!
14-19 16 combine

Almost got it. A bit worse than i thought...

What would the gas guzzler tax have been if it were not included in the MSRP?

That LS7 is a thirsty beast.

The GG tax is calculated using a different FE rating than whats printed on the window sticker, and those numbers are rarely released. So I can't say for sure, but the rough conversion is that its combined is the same as the highway mileage for a typical gasoline powered car (hybrids & diesels tend to skew things a bit). The 18.5 to 19.5 bracket for GG is $2100, so thats what I'm thinking it is going to be on the Z/28. Could possibly be lower at 1700, or as much as 2600.
