the high end auto makers will still produce high horsepower cars. Technology is way more advanced compared to just 15-20 years ago. I see car makers going towards lighter materials to gain some MPG and of course other stuff we don't know about yet.

Although if the next few years the horsepower numbers go down on the cars I like I WILL be buying a few cars and will be sticking them away just incase.

Acceleration and speed are here to stay, just in different form...

"...from zero to 60 in four seconds..." and only for a $100K :wink:

This maybe heresy, but I'd love an electric replica of the the Green Hornet once the kinks are worked out of the technology...

Of course you would have to add the aftermarket "throaty dual quad Shelby V8" external surround sound enhancer to let everyone know you mean business when you "whirrr" off the line. :smile:

I was actually researching building a CS/Little Red clone electric vehicle last fall before I was laid up for an injury and made a small career change, involving less money. It's still in the back of my mind, so you never know what might happen.

See, that 3.5L is looking pretty good right about now!

Here's another....uh.....unique option.

Humm, I wonder if a 7.3 Turbo Diesel would fit in a '71-3 Coupe? :grin:
