Yep. Think Ferrari/Bugatti.


Of course, it could be argued that this is only because no one has come up with a simple and inexpensive solution to this problem rather than it cannot be done. It would be cool to see GM come out with a system that can handle it shortly after BMW and Porsche said that it was impossible.
