Although quite possibly one of the UK's quickest road going chrome bumper Corvettes - if driven with a 'respectful right foot' it is really a pussy cat and capable of squeezing a real 16mpg out of a gallon of Esso Synergy Super unleaded at a steady 60/ 70mph cruise. The dyno sheet showing 500 ft/ lbs torque at a mere 2500 rpm gives a real clue as to street driveability.
