I like car tv shows (top gear and the like) but saw on tv an eco car made by two guys in a show called chop shop...i think the show starts later this year. Anyone heard of it?

Nope. It's not exactly hard to do though. Lighten everything, fit narrow tyres, and aerodynamic wheel trims and a flat undertray. Although I suspect results will depend on what you start with - the Citroen AX and ZX both seem to be designed with lightweight and economy in mind, so there'll be less to gain.

Pimp my Ride did one. A 1965 Chevy Impala with a Duramax diesel running 100% biodiesel, 1400ft/lb of torque, 800hp (1280 & 622 at the wheels) and an 11.5 second 1/4 mile pass. Will do 20mpg as well.
