Falling from an airplane maybe lol ... or in some Chevy Engineers dreams

Seriously, I might buy that if it runs on 4 cyls on the open road like GhettoPop said the Magnum did, otherwise Chevy must have tested it on solid rubber tires, stripped to bare fiberglass with a 40 MPH tailwind.
Remember also that all the veh manufactures are in hot water right now for vastly overstating fuel economy.
