A couple of things -

If you had a twin turbo Vette would you really be able to keep your foot out of it? So I'll be happy with the 12mpg and not at all care ;-)

The second thing is that the onboard fuel economy gauge might not be the best way to get an accurate reading. In my Excursion (Ford Product) it's MPG gauge has been call the liar-o-meter. ECU mods may make it read incorrect. Not sure if the GM stuff works the same as Ford. But put a gallon of gas in it and see how far it goes.

I agree, if I had a 600hp Vette, I'd be in it at every stop light. That's why I said highway mileage :)

Yeah, interesting setup rear mounted turbos. And the pipe work seems a bit crazy. Nothing new here except a nice approach to putting the turbos out of the engine compartment (from what I see). Pretty innovative, but I wonder how the turbo lag is as they do like the heat energy, floor it, one one thousand, two one thousand. Just kidding ;) and yes we would not get much mileage LOL
