The place to look for cutting-edge technology is often in racing, and typically in F1 and/or WRC. Currently F1 is using carbon/carbon brakes - ceramics are old hat. If you're looking for technology that's just beginning to show up in cars driven by mere mortals, twin-clutch transmisssions might be worth taking a look at. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
