Default 100 miles per gallon Fox Body?

Many of you have likely read/heard about it before..but I finally got to see it in person. There is an article posted on the main page about it, and personally, I was not impressed. If youve not heard about it, read about it here.

So, what does everyone think about it? It seems to me, that companies like Toyota, Honda, and the Big Three, who have likely spent billions of dollars to be able to say that they get 40mpg, would have at least stumbled across any sort of technology that would yield this performance and economy.

It's disappointing to hear that the entire project may be nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt. Hope they elect to document and support their claims.

Sounds like that guy is a trashcan. Good luck getting any buissness from me or anyone here on the forums.

but didnt you know, ROTM, all the car companies are in the pockets of Big Oil, so they try to hide these groundbreaking advancements

he claims that "its not about money", but one of his interviews states that he wont explain what is done to the car because hes trying to win some 10 million dollar contest...?

if it was what he says it was then he'd of revealed it along time ago and sold his invention for millions more than a contest would give him in my opinion
