Quote:Gas mileage at top speed: 50 miles per tank. We're talking 2 to 3 miles per gallon...Not all that dissimilar from any other supercar at speed, which isn't surprising when considering the energy needed to sustain 2 tons of metal at 200+ mph in a rather inefficient mode of travel (mechanical drive train overcoming friction with the ground). The price you pay for the horsepower (and cruising speed) of a 1930's-era fighter plane.
(of course, an Allison V-1710 could do that on 12 cylinders, not 16;))
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
