I was just thinking how fun it would be to be CEO of a major car company. I would stuff the biggest engine I had into the smallest chassis and sell it in a limited run. That would produce the following 2012 cars:

Ford: Fiesta (2600#) with the 800HP Super Snake V-8
Chevy: Aveo (2600#) with the 638HP LS9 (mid engine)
Chrysler: 200 (3600#) with the 470HP Hemi
Dodge: Charger (4200#) with 600HP V10
Dodge: Caravan (4500#) with 600HP V10 (because I can)
Toyota: IQ (1896#) with 552HP V10 or 675HP V8 (grin)
Subaru: WRX with 115,000 pounds of thrust. (a stretch)
Kia: factory already has it covered
Hyundai: Accent with the 93,360HP 12 cylinder.
(but the engine is 25m long, 15m high, 19m wide and weighs 2100tons, so I wil have to fab some mounts.)

I think if I were a car company CEO I'd be tempted to start picking through the concept car line-up or hanging out in the design studio for my ride.

If I were a CEO, I would run around barefoot on the skid pad.
