some guys at the local auto cross are racing these.. two actualy, they put some nice sticky tires, and are very competative.

i think it's that whole instant torque and hp, something about there being no curve in the power out put per rpm.. some one correct me if i am wrong....

Just one example:

http://www.insightman.com/spring/tourdesol-6-8-00.htm


Four out of six Insight owners broke 90 miles per gallon on several individual legs of the road rally, including Naoto Inoue of Kennebunkport, ME, and Ed Dempsey of Dempsey World Record Associates in Santa Ana, CA. Both owners achieved 93.2 miles per gallon, the highest fuel economy during the road rally.

arent they really expsensive? i thought i heard onthe radio they were 32k. or maybe that was the toyota hybrid. but i heard 32k :/

you'd save money buying a big block nova for $400 and paying for gas rather than paying 30+K for a hybrid lol

Base (starting @ MSRP $19,330)
CVT (starting @ MSRP $21,530)

I saw an accident car one for $3000 that would make a perfect drag car, i see it as the next crx in the pro fwd classes, and all motor since its so light and aerodynamic. its already becoming fairly poplular

Re: insight
 
that's what i was thinking, cut those gay ass rear wheel skirts off and it will look like a 2005 crx

Those help with the aerodynamics though, sadly. They do look like poop.
