Jack McCornack provides plans and parts to duplicate his Kubota powered racer. It is capable of over 100 mpg with a more aero body. And it is very usable if not really a "race car". |
Any loophole you think you might have will be closed if any sizable portion of the population suddenly was using it in their daily commute. Elio better go with car standards if they are smart rather then having to re-engineer the thing again when the DOT reclassifies it a car.
Not directed at RustyLugNut, but that Scientific American article quoted was I believe from the early 50's. So if you have a flathead Ford, a vapor carb might be the ticket... that or a modern MPI sysyem.
