A car in the 39hp Challenge.
Well maybe...if 6 was 9 [cue Hendrix guitar riff]

I guess it wouldn't fit the classes for the 36hp Challenge, but I estimate that if someone gutted a Prius and put a 36 hp VW engine in the back it would get ~45 mpg. The Beetle has a Cd of .41 and the Prius .26 (similar frontal area and less weight w/o the batteries).
