Nice find. Wonder if anyone will EVER see it.

There was a small company locally (I almost got a job there) that was making 2 stroke, emissions legal, car engines. They were about 200 hp, with 0-60 times in the 6.5 sec range. Definitely usable. They were getting 50-60 mpg, and that was still in development. The company got bought up by "????" and it's an empty building now. Hmmm.

You hear one of these stories here and there. I always wondered if they were just some Crack-pot or they really were paid to go away.

I fail to see what this has to do with a Corvette in the slightest.
