So while its always been brewing the push for EV or alternative power plants its really starting to get some momentum, that topic aside for one minute have others felt a trend from manufacturers to really start going all out for what seems like "final versions".
Just a couple of examples off the top of my ead; Nissan 400Z (company is in pain but sticks a TT V6 in it) Subaru WRX Sti (a few recent articles on them getting to to 300kw) Ford GT500 (really, thats insane HP) Dodge/Mopar (pretty much all their line up has something shoved in it) GM, im sure they are trying. While it may seem like us dinosaurs are being left behind, and there is a mountain of electronic controls (must say they are mostly able to be turned off) I get the feeling manufacturers are putting a bit of effort in before a fuller transition is underway. When you look at the hyper/sports car scene its already there, not to many that are sticking with the traditional ICE. Its not all going to end in 5 years, but 10, 15....enjoy!
