i'm more thinking along the lines of dumping the hybrid drive train all togeather and just repowering with just the gas engine.
sure it wouldnt be lightening fast. but if were willing to completely reshape the bodys of our cars which i've already done pretty heavily and some of us are willing to ride around with 30 an 40 hp diesels and others are willing to use forklift motors to power electric cars it seems like using an old prius engine would be within the realm of reasonable experiments and i'm actually pretty suprised it hasnt been done yet.
