What Is The Future of The Cobra Replica Industry?

The EV West Tesla motor is a complete drop in replacement with small block Chevy mounts and driveshaft yoke.
500 hp and 800 ft lbs instant power.
The Superformance version is over engineered and expense puts it in a different market.
Hurricane and don’t forget Classic Roadsters (reduced price) are for sale.
Build and sell 325/year or less turnkey cars using an electric motor and you answer to nobody.
No safety or emissions regulations. Just don’t call it a Cobra.
It probably won’t be these brands but it’s going to happen, it’s the path of least resistance.

I question the word “exciting” when attached to electric vehicles. Yes they can be incredibly fast, but exciting? Not so sure about that.
Consider this: how exciting would top fuel drag races be without the noise of those massive hemi engines on the edge of grenading?
How exciting would nascar races be without the noise? How exciting would F-1 or Indy car races be if they were silent?
I know I’ve lost interest in F-1 since they swapped the high revving normally aspirated engines for turbocharged engines. When they flew by at 19,000 rpm, the screaming engines would give me chills. Swap to electric engines, I won’t watch.
As for our noisy, smelly scary cobras, electrify them and they become as exciting as a Prius to me, no matter how fast they are.
And, yes, ev’s have their place and they are the future, I just don’t think a self driving silent car is exciting. And I want excitement in my vehicles. Millennials want non-involvement and self driving vehicles so they can spend more time on their phones. I want total involvement in my driving experience and the cobra does just that.
Just one guy’s opinion.
