It's doable from and energy standpoint, but auto gas often has a higher vapor pressure than avgas. This thing will possible (probably?) need beefier fuel pumps than a typical aircraft to avoid vapor lock situations.
The real problems, as I see it, will be intergrating two disparate systems and organizing two fundamentally different control sets (flying and driving) from a single cockpit.
A few people have also commented on the 550 lb payload, that's actually fairly reasonable for a light plane.
Took me a while to parse "FSM". Asking would no doubt have brought in a slew of wikipedia references (that would subsequently be modded "informative") and several rounds of "You must be new here".
Perhaps with the notable exception of Caligula, have you ever....ever seen an adult movie with anything other than minimal plot development? Have you ever watched an adult movie and said to yourself, "Gee, I never expected it to end that way...."?
Let's be realistic, in the adult movie world, "character development" means "he needs a fluffer".
With this in mind, do you really imagine that AO rated games will be heralded for thier "clever design" and "stunning game play"? Do we really want to see the AO equivalent of a "First Person Shooter"?
Are you sure you want to jump right into processing standardization with out a preliminary informal sit-down? Run a memo among your peers and see if you can leverage any useful synergies first. Then create an executive summary for review.
This aircraft is "capable" of aerobatics - even inverted flight (it's main edge over the Decathalon), but it's really just an extremely rugged hi-wing tandem.
A great Bush plane actually, I wouldn't assume he was going up to do aerobatics based upon that.
I only read the linked article, it didn't say which Bellanca. Super Viking would have been a decent choice, but I'll check again for the linked articles.

That just hit me as really creepy...sort of a vampire/soylent green kinda vibe..

Just another load of frop that I didn't need...
We'd have said something like, "What's the Mean Time Between Failures?"
WTF?
I can't believe that got by my works proxy-server.

I was actually thinking of a Simpsons Episode

First I heard it was "aerobatic" backwards.
