Just curious, are the MPG values for US or Imperial gallons? I
routinely got 17-18 MPG (US) with my snake on road trips as long as I
kept off of the secondaries. The 0-60 time looks about right.
The Nygaard brothers told me that when they had their Cobra set up for
Ap racing with quad Webers they could almost see the fuel gauge needle
move when they were driving the car.
