Zoleco: custom aerodynamic car, 1.0L Suzuki drivetrain

[RandomFact314]

Well I think it looks like a great car, It's insane that someone can build their own car body when most of us just have a really ghetto coroplast taped car.

I cannot wait to see your MPG read outs and I also think Frank Lee is the biggest downer of all downers and would like to see him build something better...

Reality was going to rain on that parade whether I pointed it out or not.

If I made an error PLEASE point it out!!! LOL!!!

BTW I want to build something like that Dutch streamliner bike... rounding up the parts...

Playing with numbers can be fun and motivational.Using the aerodynamic,rolling resistance,power and mpg calculator @ a 27% engine efficiency level the Zoleco could get 94.31 mpg us @65mph.This is without any energy recapture efforts at all.If by pure genious i could get that little 3 cyl. to achieve an unheard of 57.5% efficiecy level the Zoleco could get 200.85 mpg us @65mph.That i feel is a wonderful goal to shoot for.Only time and reality will tell us what can be achieved.Exciting to ponder though!

Frank is right; this is a parade in desperate need of rain. 57.5% efficiency is just not achievable. You're on track to build a 70mpg car that gets 100mpg on the highway in the summer.

If you were living in a drought stricken part of the world and were having a parade ,the rain you speak of would be a wonderful thing! Ok so 57.5% efficiency might not be achievable .What efficiency level do you think is achievable in the rain?And how many years have you spent toying with differant designs trying to improve on that?We dreamers as we are sometimes called have attempted a lot of things that would be considered not achievable by other people yet amazing things happen all the time.

I can't wait to see the MPG readouts too!!!

Do I really need to build something better? Maybe it would be enough to just say I'm building something better and then blow a bunch of sunshine up alls y'alls skirts? A lotta you seem to enjoy that...

i've seen you;ve built quite an ego. you;re arrogance is breathtaking.. a true piece of work. lol.

by all means, frank. have the last word. i will not feed into endless arguments online.

I see you take your own advice about as well as you take my factual input.

I'm done with you until you come up with something of substance.
