Hasn't his arrived yet ?.........We'll have to start a Corvetter subforum soon :lol:
A fine choice sir :thumbsup: Mine is still on its way, tracker here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9305312 It's the same as yours, 6 litre LS2, we averaged 26.9 US mpg (32.3 UK) over 2300ish miles.
Tell us more about yours, when do you get it? What made you choose one?

Love that this is a thread about a million litre turbonutterbasrtsard Yankee muscle car, and the third post is what is the MPG?!!!! I think someone is missing the point!

Longer car than I thought though, your first pic makes it look a bit Jag 220 ish!

It feels larger than it is driving it, its width can be daunting in narrow urban roads.........and it lights the rear tyres at the slightest prod from a standstill........not too juicey, around 20 ish around London........looking at it makes me grin from ear to ear..... :driving:
