hey i wouldn't mind it if the Z was hybrid. Leave the gas drivetrain alone with the exception of the inline generator, throw in a lightweight lithium battery pack, and then put two high capacity pancake motors in the front for maybe an extra 50-75 horespower of traction controlled electronically differentiated 4 wheel drive. My standpoint is that it all depends on how they do it.

Bad news, dude. I think Smoky Nagata is working on this exact idea.

well if it ever sees the light of day as salable product knowing him it will cost twice what the car is worth

Edit: but hey that might be a good buisness move for him. start releasing hybrid kits so he can overcharge people that want to ride the hybrid craze and then overcharge them again for the Top Secret stickers

I got "Nice Eclipse" when leaving the dentist office yesterday.

Pain on top of pain.
