“Now you can get 200-300 HP, ad 17-27 MPG. It took us 100 years to get there”

So much wrong with that point. They have had 1000 HP motors for almost 100 years. The rest of your points are just as easily shot down. If you want to live where you are stripped of choice you are in the wrong country.

I am talking about an economic vehicle that you drive that is mass produced.

How many thousands of miles do you get on a 1000 HP V8? Good luck with 50K and that’s with exotic metal doping. You probably know race cars get an engine teardown every few thousand miles. Not Economical....

The subject was EFFICIENCY not raw HP. (i.e. gallons per HP).
