Electric Cobras revisited
Sooo...
Now that its been decided that EV's are to be considered cool and Tesla ownership is required for acceptance into heaven - is there an accompanying shift in attitude towards electric Cobras?
SPF's pending MKiii-E is flirting with 0-60 times in the 2 second range and they've struggled to restrain the instantly-available torque to around 1000 ft/lbs!! Breaking the 355 section rear tires loose at 30mph is a toe twitch away.
For those die-hard dinosaurs among us who are addicted to having our auditory-neurons obliterated by the sidepipe basso-profundo, there might even be a throttle-linked, lumpy-cam simulated sound system - and, best of all - it uses a Tesla-sourced powertrain (Win-win-win.  ).

EDIT - apologies for the nasty language in the video. The presenter, though clearly a man of faith waxes a bit bohemian in his enthusiasm to embrace the elon-gated torque curve of this magnificent electric vehicle.
