They are building a 59 Lincoln Continental to be more fuel efficient than a Prius.  Hope it works.

Should, I am going to try and make a tune for my 5.7 Hemi when I get it in my 69 Daytona clone that will make it get at least 30 MPG, with the aerodynamics and tuneability of the Diablo Intune I think it is entirely possible 5 speed auto with a 2.76 gear.

It was heavily damaged in a fire in 2010 when the charging system malfunctioned.

I always though that the drag coefficient of the daytona would make it an ideal candidate for this sort of thing.

Yep, with a drag coefficient of 0.28 the Daytona is sleeker than most new cars including the Toyota Prius and Yaris, and that was at factory ride height and mine will be lowered forcing air around the car and above which in theroy should make it even more aerodynamic funny thing is the wing hurts the drag coefficeny and the Chrysler engineers said the wing only needed to be 8" tall to provide the needed downforce but the trunk would not open and that is why they raised it!

Ok was this posted to be funny?  This is basically what the Volt is. It's already out there. They got one thing right.

" Obstacles
Obstacles like resistance to change, the need for economic rebalance created by change, and the limitations of existing infrastructure will be met with education and proof of a clean power technology system that provides economic savings for the owner, helps to save the planet, and enhances the security of the world.

I was completely serious.

And it's not the same thing as a volt.  It's better looking.

Does Chevy pay you to advertise the Volt? If not they should.

No they don't.  
3/4 of my comments about the Volt are my retaliation for stupid comments made in the first place. If I wasn't doing that you'd here a lot less from me about the car.
Yesterday I saw an MSN article about unique cars in our times. I didn't know the Volt was in it?  After reading it, I put it on the Volt thread. Nothing more.

Seems the same to me.  Piston engine powering a gen to recharge batteries. I take a beating on the Volt which is the same principle of propulsion. So I thought this was a joke that someone loved the idea.
