Pizza cutter tires and light wheels will get you a couple MPG's as well. Some 16's with 205's would fit the bill.

I have wanted to put this turbo engine into my 62 notchback VW for along time. Just no spare time.

So I wanted to check ebay real quick.

Just throw a Duramax diesel in it. Problem solved!

This Chevelle is a daily commuter, it has a Gear Vendors OD, and gets 35 MPG on his commute and ran 11s at the drag strip. It runs in the 9s now, so I'm sure fuel economy isn't so hot anymore, but I figured I'd throw it out there. It has our cage, VariShocks, and some misc pieces.

THIS CAMAROhas a Duramax, our front clip, and our Eliminator-II backhalf.

If it were mine, this is the route I'd be taking.

6 speed auto and 3:08 gears. http://www.tciauto.com/tc/6x-six-spe...tm-shifterhtml

Do a 5.3L for a bit more low end but an efficient cylinder ratio. And alot of Carbon Fiber.

Diesel swap, carbon fibre (hood/ trunk/ panels/ seats) and aluminum/ fiberglass (panels/ hood/ interior parts) where needed.
Also weight reduction of removing things that are not needed, (air conditioning/ carpet/ rear seats/ etc) depends on comfort of course. And aerodynamics of course, front splitter, rear diffuser/ spoiler that will help cut the car through the air and help with handling at the same time.

I would think of an Ecotec or a Ford Ecoboost power plant or as others have mentioned, a mild LS with low gearing and a 6 speed manual or auto or even a gear vendors overdrive.
