How long till the first elio gets chopped? Rat rodded? Hot rodded? ......

The burnout is used in drag racing. It has its place.

For motor sounds a v8 or a v twin bike sound great to me, a 3 cylinder eco commute motor? Uhh no thanks. Yep a great sound system is a must For the commute.

The use of sleaves would be wise on a for any start up company. Let the big guys do the r and d to the point they are using it. Spray bore is not proven anywhere near what a simple sleeve is. I would be overjoyed with liners.

Interesting jim. Learned somthing today. I am on the "jroot" "Just ran out of time" And scrambling to get a new rear end built....when the growl became a grind :-O I dont recommend it.

Time will tell, mr jeff. And I am sure due to the programers work and cad software, they stand a much better chance at getting it right the first time. Just hope "experts" talked to "fisherman" :-D

Software is very helpful. And I have seen expert's with software make huge blunders as well. Software is only as good as the knowledge and data that is entered. I have watched expert's with software make a ship ....the model sank..lol After the kinks were worked out the ship could not do its...

How about 25 of them, running the elio motor....no trailers, drive it there...wash off bugs and show it. Now that would sway many. And take less resources to do so.

Kinda like finding a job before you quit one. I would wait for sure intill you have an elio to take its place. I need a back up car becuse the mustang Gets driven like a muscle car... And parts break. So I have downtime.

I bet you find most hose stretchers. Drive many diffrent cars? Just sayin.

ElioHas a metal frame. I would think that would be the point to dog it down.

Ducati has always pushed envelope. The desmo valvetrain comes to mind..

The stang started in 1964-1965...ish The elio has a long long way to go to become an american icon... Same goes for any car still being built that started back in the 60s. This comparison is an apple and a watermelon and makes me chuckle. ;):p:-$ 50 years and going strong. 1,964 50th Special...

A cb750 was my very first hot rod project as a kid. I messed that bike up pretty bad and learned the hard way..lol Went after top end hp....on the open road on a good day it was crazy fast. In traffic it was a hand full...hard to start. Ran like a peaky two stroke. Had to keep the rpms up.and...
