I say if this keeps up, somebody soon will have a 200mph car at the track. I'm heading to the garage now to come up with something.:D

I want one. Maybe I can build it using a SVT focus.

Ok....about halfway down that last page I gave I found a couple of time slips: 60' time is 1.099 and I believe 1.096

He sounds like Algore. Clean, my ass! Interesting, how they conveniently forget to mention how much energy it takes to charge those batteries, and how much fuel was burned in the process of making the electricity. From data I've seen, it's far more than burning gasoline to propel a vehicle.

Not that the performance isn't remarkable, and impressive; but the guy in the M3 drove his car to and from the track, something that Datsun's never gonna do. ;)
