the CAFE milage for the 400 HP 05 C-6 is 28 MPG i can not see how a 150 more HP is going to get 2 more MPG:confusedMCMLVII said:An objective for the 2007 Corvette engine is to achieve 550 hp with provide 30 mpg.
Never underestimate the resourcefulness of General Motors Powertrain.Satchel said:It seems highly unlikely that the C6 could accommodate a 550 HP base engine, assuming the same dimensions of the engine compartment. Is a great leap in technology anticipated? How can a 550 HP engine achieve 30mpg, without some quantum leap in technology? And in 2 years?
I'm betting perhaps 425 HP (at most) by 2007, with mileage holding steady.
Direct gas injection improves MPG and maybe they will reconsider DoD.motorman said:the CAFE milage for the 400 HP 05 C-6 is 28 MPG i can not see how a 150 more HP is going to get 2 more MPG:confused
