What you think:
Tzero

I bring up the question:
If the car you wanted to buy had a gas powered engine or a electric and gas combination engine option, and somehow performed the same, would you buy the combination version

Evo Rob · Mar 04, 2004, 6:57 PM

As for the Tzero looks NO every thing else about it yeah i could live with and as for your other question i would opt for the combination

Mopar68 · Mar 04, 2004, 7:48 PM

i remeber reading a short article about that in autoweek. It's really small. It looks like fun. But to answer your question, i'd take whatever is most efficent.

Definitely YES.
In fact, I'm starting to like alot the new Prius.

what can I say, well this is very original design though not necessarily the best one I have seen. It has the looks, and with the performance it offers, this makes it a very nice gadget for weekend extreme driving

All you need is electricity plug and...a sunny day cause I don't see any hardtop

I like it, it looks funny

The tzero's Reductive charging system can plug in to any grounded 100 to 240V socket. The current draw from the line can be set by the user. With a 100-Amp 240-Volt connection, the tzero can fully charge in about an hour.

pretty neat stuff. however, electricity's pretty expensive in california. that's the thing about full electrics. almost like trading the cost of gasoline with the cost of electricity.

To everyone: download the vids. They're fun!

i like it but i think the handling could be better , 88G in the skidpad isn't that good for a track car ! nor a real sports preformance cae

jimkk29 · Mar 06, 2004, 7:03 AM

Skidpad numbers are not 100% representative of a cars performance IMO...

ya but they do indicate something . not 100% right but close enough

i all for enviromentally clean cars BUT i dont see the point in electric cars at the minute.

In the UK about 80% of power is from coal - more pollutants than burning petrol.

I dont think electric as such has a future (plugging it in to a socket).
However hydrogen powered electric motors will definely become big in the future.

I happen to agree with you. With Toyota leading the way, it might be nice
