After reading the posts on fuel economy and the different sized engines (My brain hurts trying to imagine the size of Morelite's 8.1 litre, as where I live as a progressive tax is levied on all engines and it maxes out at 6500 dollars over 3.5 litres) This left me wondering about performance. Not to see who has the fastest car, but just to see if those big low MPG enigines really offer the performance advantage one would associate with it. What is considered a "fast" car in daily commute? Over here it's anything that does the 0-60 in under ten seconds. So what acceleration does your care have (compared to the MPG) and how often do you get the chance to use it?
Update on the MPG post as well, one car (mine) which made it to the 50MPG class is no more, it did not survive side impact with a streetlight. I had to exit via the passenger door.
