simple fact. a C7 corvette 6.2 L V8 N/A making 460HP and 450TQ WILL match a M4s 3.0L turbo engine all day long with MPG.
the days of V8s being worse on gas is outdated thinking. get with the times.

On the hwy yes, not in any other scenario. The corvette is geared very tall in 6th... Have fun driving that thing around town and getting good mpg... no v8 in the world does that. DI can only do so much.
