Also, I'd like to add that they test vehicles on a dyno under easier condititions then you would think. So usually the cars they test record higher numbers then the claimed highway numbers. So they aren't as far off as you would think.
The new 6th gen Camaro should be lighter and sporting the new direct injection gen V small block! I'm sure it will be pushing close to 30MPG of the showroom floor. I'd hate to see the muscle car die again but I think we have enough technology to fight it this time around!
