I Read a very interesting artical on it.
They are getting cheapper to manifacture all the time.
Look up IBM and the graphene chip. 100ghz transistors!
Graphene won't replace silicone, I still have to do some reading, but they talking these graphene transistors on a silicone wafer.

I like how the first page is about the ride height, then I go to the last page and we're talking about solenoids and batteries.

I'm just going to respond to various levels of this thread all at once:

Ride height doesn't bother me; it will be 'high enough' when it comes out of the factory for pot holes and speed bumps. All cars are.

I need A/C & some where to install blue tooth (due to local laws) in a car. Everything else is unnecessary.

I drove the original 86 in the winter with snow tires for 2 years, including a record setting snow year. It was fun and awesome, and totally worth getting stuck every other day. I just carried a shovel in my trunk to dig myself out.

A new Toyota Supra would compete with the 370. A Lexus version would compete with the 911.

Capacitors discharge as soon as you take away the current so they aren't practical in a hybrid car. As soon as you turn it off, it has to charge back up all over again. It's great, however, for KERS, since that's the point.

This thread should be deleted.

While you are correct that capacitors discharge when current is removed, the time before they completely discharge is usually ~3 days depending on the type of capacitor, the mA, and many other factors. Is it doable? Yes. Practical? No.

As long as it won't be "sporty" like the CR-Z, then I will be happy.

Honda sure knows what sporty means, a hybrid that gets 30 mpg and 0-60 in 10 seconds WHOOOO!

I vote well consolidate all the threads and sell it as a general knowledge book. Everyone who's posted will get a portion of the profits proportional to the amount and quality of their post. If we can get Oprah to read it we'll all be rich lol.

Brilliant. I'll get my 2 cents back.

I don't really have anything to add to this topic now.
