I don't think I'd want one. I like burning gas.

Oh, I'd take it. Finally a 'green' car I can drive without looking like a douchebag.

You said it brother, exactly what I was thinking. I'd love to get a hybrid and do my part for the environment, but I'm not trading in my nuts in order to get the keys.

The best Mustang mileage mod is a bungee cord attached to the right shoe. Pull up on it, and gas mileage improves every time.

I have been unable to install this gas mileage-improving modification thus far.

I want to know how much it would cost to charge the battery back up?

A more effective gas mileage mod would probably be one of these as a DD. http://www.myersmotors.com

I wonder what that car sounds like going down the road; eventhough that car doesn't look like all the other electric cars, the best part of a mustang (in my opinion) is how the exhaust sounds - nice and loud

Reminds me of old school hot rods.

Certainly NOT a HD

That white Mustang w/ the cams has the most perfect old-school sound. I wonder what the rest of his setup is.

just fyi - all of the youtube links reminded me of something, if you type "&fmt=18" (without the quotes) at the end of the youtube url, if a higher quality video is available, that file will download. Now the geek side of me showing

one of the links posted earlier:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=E1mYzsxMbo4&fmt=18 (higher quality) and http://youtube.com/watch?v=E1mYzsxMbo4 (lower quality)

Not sure what exhaust he is using but the cams are the FRRP Hot Rod cams.

Freakin sweet as hell. And no other upgrade is apparently needed to run them. Other than a tune. At least that is my understating.
