Same here. Pretty much the only reason I use my porsches for daily driving is safety. The high speed abilities of a porsche are just wasted on the street. But I genuinely believe that porsches are safer than other cars (in fact, after I bought my first p-car, I was deeply shocked at how wildly uncontrolled all other cars felt in comparison). I tell ya, the first company that comes up with an environmentally friendly car that handles like my 944 is gonna get a big check from me.
That said, I have been looking into getting a diesel...preferably from mercedes or some other top end company...and trying out the biodeisel approach. I have a friend who is going deep into that world and I am very seriously intrigued.
Oh yeah, and because of the huge torque that you can get from a diesel, a biodiesel sports car is not at all out of the question. If anybody on this BBS wants to try such a thing, I'll gladly throw some R&D cash at it.
