Now 10 years from now what are the new GTR motors going to be swapped into. The old RB motors are a dime a dozen in 240sx's.... HAHAHA

10 years from now... internal combustion will be so 20th century, for a few reasons. Look for electric to really take-off, with the Tesla going center stage sometime this Summer.

Hopefully...

Will give a whole new meaning to brake boosting if you have to ride your breaks to charge up your car for a run.

Indeed, not exactly race ready... yet. The Tesla will have a range of a few hundred miles, but this is on public roads. Track time is maybe an hour tops with current technology. After seeing what an electric Atom could do at the drag strip (instant torque), and Tesla's doing 0-60 in about 4 seconds, we are in for a change...
