I have been told that the new Corvette can get just about 30mpg on the highway. Now that is a new engine design that is worth while. Plus it is dimensionally small, it is light, and develops big HP without the need of a supercharger.

Ford shoulda just made the SBF 5.0 re-cast in aluminum, added some good design high compression aluminum heads (like the aftermarket ones) and a good cam design, and they would have had a winner in every respect. The mod motor is a huge step backward!
