I'm pretty sure his viewpoint is mostly skewed by the tax on large displacements over there. I've consistently seen that engines that don't have stupidly high volumetric efficiencies get better mileage. For instance, 2009 Viper vs 2009 Honda S2000. EPA rates highway for the Viper at 22mpg and the 2000 at 25mpg where the Viper is making 600HP and the S2000 only ~240HP. There's also the same model year Corvette Z06 which is rated at 24mpg highway and has been reported by some to near 30MPG with a little effort.

RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230
[quote]ORIGINAL: Foxy A 2.0 NA ricer with induction kit, manifold, decat, 70mm system and a program (300whp NA at 8000rpm) would take the SS easily and be more reliable. What's more it would still do 25mpg, how's the camaro SS on fuel? I admit it wouldn't look as good (subjective, but the Camaro is a good looking car, no doubt) and it wouldn't make such a nice noise either, but 410hp (no doubt at the fly as well, probably only making 340rwhp) from a 6.2l is shameful. The only thing that saves it is that a brooklyn hobo can afford to own one. Muscle cars...great to look at, but what a waste of fuel. [/quote] HP/L? Really? You know, you can get 30MPG out of a Mustang with ease.

Well, the 0-60 is claimed at 7.5 seconds for the C230k and I can't see any Hyundai Accent of the same vintage that will do it under 10. Barely under 11 seconds. He will win easily.

CRT .5 battery tray options.
I have a CRT .5 I converted to brushless and since I'm going to spend the bucks for good batteries I'd like them to be a bit more protected than the stupid setup I have now. What options do I have for a battery tray? Would prefer something that bolts in rather than having to drill holes in the chassis.
