Era of the Muscle Car is over

zZSportZz · 06-14-2009, 09:09 AM

IMO, not having grown up in the muscle car era, I just like power and performance. I don't really care how it is delivered to the wheels. The instant torque of a fast electric car some day might be interesting. With the new battery technology out today, I am willing to bet that not far down the road there will be electric sports cars =)

If a LiPo battery pack the size of a brick of soap can power my RC Car at 60 mph for 45 mins...there is hope for electric sports cars some day. Granted the LiPo batteries explode when they are punctured hehe.

The way I look at it. If we are all forced down the path of going green with electric and/or hybrid cars...I at least want a sporty one. Thats all I'm saying

Chevy Volt, there's another Tesla something...

600+ HP.

Granted, I don't really know if they can measure HP...electric motors (and, well, engines) are all about Torque.
