Hybrid Z would awesome so long as they keep the current engine in place. Only concern would be about how long the batteries would hold up for track use.

File photo of Dave and his cell phone:

He's got a new 150 ft cord for it, so you can call him even when he's out working on the yard!

haha I had a family friend in Iran (used to live there until 16) who thought his cordless housephone was a cellphone n always had it in his pocket. He never found out it wasnt since he never went too far from his house.

Then what a computer the size of a phone that you can use anywhere.

I have doubts about pure electric cars becoming the mainstream norm, but fuel cell hydroden/electric cars do show promising concepts. We just need to get the infrastructure in place. Battery tech development is starting to plateau, but I'm sure there will be some kind of breakthrough. Just look at how cell phones have evolved due to consumer demand. 10-15 years ago it was the size & weight of a brick and couldn't even send out a text message. Now I can tell Siri "I want to see boobs" and it gives me directions to the 5 strip clubs near me... that's friggen awesome!

The likelyhood of cars becoming autonomous is looming. The most ineffeciant part of the automobile is the driver. In the future, it won't really matter what fuel or power source is used. Driving will become a recreational activity like walking or jogging.

Yeah like I've said before the z won't disappear because the z, g, and fx share the same platform. It doesn't make financial sense to get rid of the z but not the others. But I'm glad to hear a 200 hp z is not in the future. Maybe all the people complaining about low z sales will stop freaking out now.

Electric Sports Cars: just another good reason to nix the EPA.

agreed, BUT if the next gen Z comes in around 2015-2016, it won't be full EV, the tech just isn't there yet for range and recharge times. it would be terribly impractical.

Next gen hybrid Z, def possible and if done right, could be good fun and good performing.

What else is new. You never listen anymore. You are only interested in what FL 4Motion wants, not what m4a1mustang wants, not what FL4a1Motiong wants. We need to talk about our future...
