Hopefully they will get it to rock like the roller coasters that use the magnetic tracks and get that baby at 0-60 in 1.3 secs

And maybe run like the bullet train at 230 mph....

I bet you're exactly right. When the oil runs out, we'll all be old duffers still doing nine second quarters on a magnetic CBR. And since magnets are silent, there'll be a module that offers your choice of digital 'engine noise and vibration'. Can't wait to hear the 'turbine' setting.
