Opinions, like assholes....

I sit and pull 28MPG all day on the highway driving normally.

With my old 3.9 second 0-60 pushrod....

Their cars are setup for drag racing and automatics are better for that.

For the same price you can get a Z06 with 505bhp and get almost a 50% improvement in highway mileage. Now I'm no hippie, but I appreciate efficiency, and that LS7 is damn efficient.

Again, I love my car, and nothing drives like it, nor meets my requirements for a Daily Driver, but you can't argue with the pushrod V-8's.
