Bitch all you want, but I think we're looking at the future here. A THOUSAND lb/ft TQ at idle? WOW! Sure, it's expensive now, but the newest stuff always is. It will come down as time passes.
Now I'm not trading my fire breathing V8 for an electric motor tomorrow, or ever, but something tells me that in 10 or 20 years the kids are going to be blowing me off the road with their little electric Honda's, gasoline is going to be $25 a gallon because nobody uses it anymore, and my grand kids are going to be calling me "that crazy old guy with the (said with a roll of the eyes) "fossil fuel car." It's gonna suck, but unless someone perfects the Star Trek transporter first, that's where it's headed.
I wonder how hard it is to make home made 93 octane?!
