Electric Powered Cobra

[Buzz]

They will Ron - it's just a matter of time. EV's are not the be all and end all to solve all of the world's geo-politico-enviromental problems, but with a continuous 1000 ft/lbs of torque, zero emissions and a cost of less than 3 cents a mile even with current technology, they have my attention.

Consider the performance potential with integrated electronic traction controls and extras like active aero, stability and suspension management and hell, drag racing could reach new heights (or should I say lows ?) and with GPS-mapped road course data plugged into the ECM, the slot-car like performance could make current road racing look like a soapbox derby!

Critics lament that without the noise and smell of burning dinosaurs, performance cars would lose their visceral appeal, but I bet the sheer speed and awesome linear/lateral accelerative forces would turn many into believers after a few short rides. Plus, with a customizable audio system, you could make your car sound like anything you want. A melodious basso-profundo for cruising the boulevard and a wailing valkyrie shriek for canyon carving or track work.
