Guessing the TC was Michel Pinto(Aerobird Motorsports), I believe that's the same track he raced at...

Not one ounce of pollution...

Except for making the electricity to charge it.

Still Bad A$$. I wonder what kind of distance he gets during regular driving?

It was a fast car, but I wonder how much pollution is really caused from the coal plant that created the power. I'm sure its  less then gas but you can't call it pollution free.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

yeah, but consider what goes into obtaining, processing, distributing, storting, and redistributing oil products that the end user sends straight into the atmosphere.

sorry dude, its all much "cleaner" than past policies and habbits. a change could easilly be a positive thing. money and policy keep us "in the red". we dont exacly live in the most efficient society. im not a tree hugger but it would be nice to see a positive shift in our wastefullness and ways in wich we handle our pollution otherwise.

he claims that normal gasoline sends carcinogens into the air, as far as i know only diesel does that. but other than that he is just about spot on.

We have hydrogen cars at work, they are reliable and clean and the fill station we have on site converts water to the hydrogen and the car converts it back.
