We will still have sports cars 20 years from now, it will just be different. Heck, if you look back 50 years ago, do you honestly think they would have believed 6 or 4 cylinder engines make the power they do in modern engines today. Compare a first gen 240 to the 370 and the differences are astonishing to say the least. It's kind of like saying a Porche GT3 R Hybrid is no longer a sports car or a modern F1 car no longer a race car because it uses some other source of energy.
long term, electricity in cars is a good thing (especially because the move to more widely used supercaps is going to make me filthy rich). Short term, it sucks. Companies are half-assing designs and they sell because they are "eco friendly"

I like torque.

Exhaust discussion is going to be fun when we are all driving electric cars. "Hey guys, check out this new .mp3 exhaust file I made."

Damn I like that exhaust note on your Nissan, do you know where I can get a file converter so I can use it on my Ford?
