I was present in July 1986 when the Pope visited Saint Lucia - but that doesn't make me a biblical scholar. You claim to be able to predict a car's high-speed handling dynamics by looking at a picture because you've raced a bit and attended a race where one car crashed? - That's remarkable in several ways 
The Tesla roadster is not just CG; it's a running, driving prototype that accelerates at a phenomenal rate. So let's say it only does what - 230?, 220? - That's still significant at 1/16th the price of its closest competitor performance-wise.
Enough about that, though - I'm reading up on and learning more (  ) about the opposed piston diesel engine. Improved efficiency through simplicity - no cylinder heads or valve train - amazing in this age of improvement through increased complexity and applied technology.
