120k forget that a type zero is just as fast cheaper but its ugly tho.

I will take an ethanol engine over electric any day. You can make ethanol yourself, it will run in an existing engine, you can run high compression engines on it, no worry about heat with ethanol since it runs cool, and it makes more power than gasoline. You can get back mileage, often better than you got on gasoline if you build specifically for ethanol, particularly with regards to compression ratio and utilizing the heat to vaporize the fuel rather than atomize it.

It takes seconds to fill a tank, hours to recharge batteries. For the cost of the electric conversion you can build an ethanol plant that will make 20 gallons of fuel per hour, and keep you in hot water and food for years. $100k will build a bunch of 14:1 engines.

I like electric, if they get the limitations figured out so you can go more than 100 miles with one, there is no acid/hazardous waste disposal issues from the batteries, and bring the cost down to nearly the same as an engine rebuild rather than a Ferrari and I would pimp one. Until then I will keep building engines that are around the 40% efficient range with 300-400 mile ranges and stupid power.

Whatever is cheapest with the most power is the fuel for me. Right now that is home made ethanol, since its running me $.40 a gallon, and soon it will be around $.10 a gallon.
