Comment Page:
Comment: Todd from Perrysburg, OH - Too bad the "Big 3" w/all their problems wouldn't scrape their last dimes together & buy the design so they could have 50-100mpg autos & still run the big power.
Comment: Tami from PA writes - Gramps says that your engine sounds wonderful and he is waiting for more details when you release more information. He said he has a lot of questions too but figures you would not tell cause it's secret stuff.
I hope all is well with you it sounds like your engine is really working out well and will be a great thing to many of us when you get to the point of selling the stuff so we can buy it!
Comment: Heather from Toledo, OH - It's great what your doing! What does it do in the quarter?
A: Team HP2g - best of 12.14 ET @ 114 mph
Comment: Dana from Pittsburg, PA - Well, first off, you're pretty much my hero for what you've been able to do with the entire freaking world!
Comment: Jim from Harrisburg, PA - 110 mpg that would be incredible. Like I said Good Luck to both of you ( HP2g and Revenge ).
Comment: Bud from McLean,VA - Looks like you've got a winner!
Comment: Chris from Goshen,IN - I'm praying and crossing my fingers for you Doug. I'm excited to see the potential uses for what you've designed. I'll finally be able to afford to drive a truck.

Letter wrote in by Speedzzter: I have no idea whether Team HP2g will be able to make good on their claims or not. However, it does absolutely no good to ridicule the team before the competition has even started.
If one believes the future of private transportation is only soulless, cramped telephone-booths-on-wheels, powered by permanently-sealed "black box" propulsion units, then perhaps "a drag race" is irrelevant.
But, the fundamental idea of the X Prize isn't just to build the most compromised and highest m.p.g. vehicle possible. It's about building cars with "real world" attributes AND advanced operational efficiency.
In the real world, there are people who want increased "part throttle" fuel efficiency, yet still need (or want) serious power during 3%-5% of the driving cycle. There are people who will continue to need light vehicles that retain the occasional capacity to haul heavy loads of goods and equipment at highway speeds. There are people who will never surrender motoring enjoyment and performance capability at the "altar" of m.p.g. There are still people who desire dual purpose cars that can be driven daily and raced on the weekends.
Drag racing is a well-documented way to demonstrate the peak output and durability of an engine. It can demonstrate an important part of an engine's capability to the technologically-aware segment of the motoring public. It can also generate interest in a new concept or idea.
A 100 year tradition of automobile racing and "hot rodding" isn't just going to evaporate because a minority of power-hungry environmentalist-socialists are spreading their new global religion of "climate change." Thus, whatever happens, some of us will still be racing whatever there is left to race.
The X-Prize would be a total failure if it degenerates into a ephemeral competition between flimsy, freakish and impractical experimental "cars" that do nothing well but sip fuel. At least Team HP2g has entered a vehicle with "real world" attributes of interest to the millions who don't plan on giving up the essence of high performance motoring merely to appease the greeniacs.
I hope they can meet and even exceed their claims . . . and do it with a V8! But it does no good to "trash talk" against them until they've had their day in the actual competition.

Letter wrote in by Jesse Livefast : " First off, I would like to reiterate what I said in the subject. Thank you! And secondly, and I don't mean to accuse you of anything, but I sure as hell hope this is real; tangible. I know you have a lot riding on this, and I hope more than anything that you win and garner the respect and wealth that will come with the win. I hope you're not pulling our leg, because as a little grass roots effort, you've inspired a lot of people, including myself. You're all over the Mustang forums, Subaru forums, and I just introduced your team to a Nissan/Infiniti forum that has been buzzing ever since I posted your video and articles. From a performance driven mind, I'm excited to see what your team has rolling over there, and as a middle class American, I'm excited to possibly buy whatever it is you're selling. So many people have speculated that you're going to sell out to the big wigs, deal with the automobile manufacturers, or go another route that so many have followed for money, but I'm almost willing to put money on you guys! It's about time that we have a true great American "David" to slay the corrupt OPEC "Goliath!" Whether you win this thing or not, you have inspired thousands, if not millions at this point! Keep up the good fight! Break our shackles, will ya?!"
A. No... Thank you . We are testing and proving our products in real world driving.
Thanks for the questions. Keep it coming
