Tango Commuter Car, Maniac Mazda RX7
Check these out!
The Tango Commuter Car
Smaller than a Honda Goldwing, two-seater 0-60 in 4 seconds, 12 sec 1/4 mile, $80,000
The Maniac Mazda RX-7
Sub 4 second and 11 seconds 1/4 @ 114+ mph.
Ohhh, and did I mention that both these are EVs? With a 400hp, 1000 (yes one thousand) lb/ft of torque! One engine driving each rear wheel, powered by 22 12 Volt batteries!
The Tango has a range of only 80 miles, though!
Can't wait for the prices to become 'realistic'

i think it's great they can get great performance from those cars, but that Tango looks like it has a high center of gravity. I'd hate to roll that little thing. If you roll it, you may get buried in it.

Center of Gravity

Well, its defined as the position at which gravity would act on the object, if its entire mass (not weight) were concentrated at that point. So a light enough roof would make the CG pretty low. In fact, go ahead and check out the video of the car running through a slalom/autocross course, The only thing better would be a frikkin' Go Kart! Pretty incredible!

Sig, police, police-police!
OK OK already! I was just experimenting with sigs, images and sizes. Will have stuff figured out soon 
Funny how I was hit by the board police, and then the police got policed
Sure, my message should probably also be a PM instead, but hey - I don't set the precedents around here
