The future

No because someone will get offended by that to.
Its not about being offended. It is about reality. As much as I am a fossil fuel addict like the rest of you the reality is that in 20 to 40 years 80% or more of personal vehicles will be fueled by alternatives. Fossil fuels are finite, have a negative impact on our environment and will become reserved for air travel, home heating and large commercial vehicles.

EVs aren't necessarily the answer either for varying reasons. That being said there are some kits available to make awesome EV hot rods but they are fairly pricey, although if you consider what kind of money typically goes into a proper V8 build nowadays the EV kits offer significant bang for the buck.

I truly believe that the days of building a hot internal combustion engine at home are numbered. Like every thing else in history the time, they are a changing.
