[Land-speed] End of the High performance car???

[John Thornton]

If gasoline isn't refined in huge quantities for road vehicles it will 
be expensive as hell and difficult to obtain. Think AVGas only worse.
Most people on this list aren't particularly young are they?
Don't most of you remember this "end of performance" garbage in the 1970's?
My new Mustang outperforms my uncle's (since destroyed) Shelby GT350 in 
every aspect of performance quite easily. It outperforms his GT 500 KR 
(also since destroyed) as well.
A small efficient generator (running on ?) providing AC power to 4 hub 
motors will make for a very fast ride.
At least that's the theory I'm currently working on   : )
