<<in spite of their 380 million dollar budget (in F-1) >> Typical Kids play for F1 budgets....that whole F1 group is insane with the Dollar$. Everyone there drops 100's Millions a year. Have you seen the Champ Car series is going to a spec car in 2007? - I forget the exact #'s but it was like 250K for rolling tub, whole season could be run for $3M! The sickest thing about F1 cars IMHO...is the brakes & areo packages. Again I forget the #'s but those bitches can brake from 200mph - 70mph in like 2 seconds pulling negative 3-4G's...INSANE...but way cool!!

Toyota pays homage to Alessandro Volta in future /concept toyota.com The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta's 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive® (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling. Seems there have been some confusing rumors on the Net that Toyota might name it the "Priapus" , in which case Ford would be hard pressed to come out with a future concept vehicle of their own , and dare to counter by naming it the ----> Phallus Surprised that Ford hasn't thought of that before, after all it would have a nice ring to it ....and Dodge does have the "Viagra" (I mean Viper ) ! Then you would have a duel between the Ford Phallus with the Toyota Priapussy . ;-) PS: TM chart might indicate a double top and need to pull back here....maybe a little too much pheremones
