road trip

We just got home today from a 3000 mile road trip and I have to say there is not a car on the road that I like better than this. It was comfortable , got over 20 MPG and was just a blast the whole trip .

Fantastic!
I did the same thing 1.5 years ago and had a blast.
I still have the same excitement when I drive the car.
May you have the same.

Awesome. What was your cruising speed to get 20mpg? I'm taking mine to the Tail of the Dragon in September. I live just south of you in Tonopah.

I just got back from a 3300 mile road trip in my 650+ whp ZL1 and it was trouble free. I still got 17 mpg and that was at an average cruising speed of about 80. I also ran the Tail of the Dragon on my way back to Florida. What a blast that was!!!
