According to your other posts (I won't quote you back to yourself) you were out chatting up college age girls.

IMHO the (never completed?) Renaissance project is backward too. Pragmatically, it consumes orphaned Prius drivetrains and [maybe] improves the mileage of the donor vehicle; but the interesting question to me is: What would you put into the Insight that would improve *it's* mileage. I'm thinking pure electric with supercar performance and 'instant' charge times because of the nano-scale fractal Lichtenberg-figure anodes in the next-gen batteries.

What did you think of the Scuderi Split Cycle engine? A custom crankshaft and camshaft[s] in the stock inline-4?
