Better gas mileage sounds good to me. The new porsches are getting in the 30s on the highway so where exactly is this sacrifice you speak of?

I can see them making it there with the sport car lineup at some point.
Just a few weeks ago I took my father in law to the track with me to see if I could get into the 11's. Well, long story short I just fell short with a 12.05 at 118. This was full weight and on street tires.

Why share this? Well my father in law was more blown away that on the way home we got 28mpg. So with the continues development of tech and how that is being utilized in vehicles I think it is more of a matter of time. I am more worried about the day when all cars run off of GPS and dont have a steering wheel!
