    I paid £7600 brand new in '98. Fuel injection improved fuel economy over carbs.

    Actually, I remember gas costing 4x more there than in america :) (at least around London) Although, with rising gas prices here, looks like we'll be at european prices in no time.

    ive been in a calibre but here in australia they are called holden calibre unless your talking about a fully imported model(in which case it might be opal or vauxhall).as for petrol australias are going made cause its $1.30per litre here but i hear its a lot worse in england.fastest car ive been in was an old holden commodore V8 maxed out over 200mph and the speedo blew up so we didnt get the final speed.

    SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Ian Wright has a car that blows away a Ferrari 360 Spider and a Porsche Carrera GT in drag races, and whose 0-to-60 acceleration time ranks it among the fastest production autos in the world. In fact, it's second only to the French-made Bugatti Veyron, a 1,000-horsepower, 16-cylinder beast that hits 60 mph half a second faster and goes for $1.25 million.

    The key difference? The Bugatti gets eight miles per gallon. Wright's car? It runs off an electric battery.


    Wright, a 50-year-old entrepreneur from New Zealand, thinks his electric car, the X1, can soon be made into a small-production roadster that car fanatics and weekend warriors will happily take home for about $100,000 - a quarter ton of batteries included. He has even launched a startup, called Wrightspeed, to custom-make and sell the cars.

    (For the story and a photo gallery of what's under the X1's hood, click here.)

    BTW, way back in this thread, SypherTek meant to say 10 miles, not 100 miles on the lead of the race between the two speedsters.
