Assuming we're talking about the 2006-2013 C6 Corvette, it has a drag coefficient of 0.28. Lots of production cars have that kind of efficiency. Hell, the new CLA is 0.23. The Prius is 0.26. That Corvette drag coefficient is attractive, but hardly the best of any production car.
Frankly, I'm suspicious of the claim. Note that he was comparing an actual mpg measurement to the rated measurement. Those are not always apples-to-apples. Or the rating speed could happen to be an inefficient speed (given the Corvette's gear ratios). In other words, there will be a speed around 55 mph where a Corvette gets better mileage than it does at 75 mph -- it just might not be exactly 55 mph (or whatever speed they use for "highway") where that speed occurs.
