    Dodge Charger Hellcat 3.5 (2.9 with slicks, apparently low end torque is so high it can't stick)
    Corvette Z06 2.95
    Dodge Charger SRT 3.8
    2014 Shelby GT Mustang 3.5 (sure the newer ones are quicker, power is up)
    Dodger Challenger SRT 4.0
    Mustang Boss 302 4.0
    Camaro Z28 4.0
    Camaro ZL1 3.9
    Porshe 911 Turbo 2.9
    Nissan GT-R Nismo 2.7

    There are many I am sure I missed, such as some of the specialty model Mustangs, etc.

    Even run of the mill Mustang GT does it in 4.3 seconds. And there are a huge number in the 4.1-5 second range, that with about 6 grand in supercharger bolt-ons drop down in the the sub-4 range.

    The problem is the cost of producing hydrogen. *It will eventually drop to about $30 to fill the equivalent of a compact car's gas tank, with it running about $50 now. Its not cost-competitive against high mileage gas powered cars.

    * This is according to Toyota.

    You don't just stick a garden hose into the tank?????? :D

    FWIW, Toyota is doing (at least right now) what Tesla is doing. They pay for the fillups at the fueling/charging stations. Toyota's runs, I think, for 2 years if I read it correctly.

    Oh well. Like everything else, more widespread use and 'imperative' fuels efficiency and drop in $$$.

    And I suppose I should review how they extract the hydrogen from water........

    Apparently that's only one process out of many (coal gassification, etc.)..........and so far the most expensive.

    Well there you go! Beauty is all in the eyes of the beholder! Tell me, when she puts her bra on, how does she keep from getting her back hair caught in the hooks?

    She looks like she could be a great test subject for the Dollar Shave Club!
