While I 150% of electric cars and saving the planet and environment, electric muscle cars, no matter if they made 1,000,000 HP, would be just plain WEIRD if they made no noise.

If youmissed the growl you could always get a good stereo and put it on a cd.

yeah, i read that in the new 5.0...it looks pretty bad ass. if i had that kind of power and styling, i MIGHT be able to sacrifice the growl...

either way, my biggest question is how much will this thing cost??? They give no clue as to price or performance but state that updates will come as soon as they get behind the wheel

Maximum torque on an electric motor is at 0 RPM so the thing would take off like a rocket. Talk about burning up tires...

Unfortunately it will probably weigh 3 tons and have a range of 50 miles.

Battery technology needs to make great strides before electric cars can be taken seriously.

My biggest complaint about electric cars is this: It's not helping emmisions. Something has to make the electricity to recharge that car. Whatever that may be, it's creating just as much if not more pollution than what the car will. OK it might cost less per mile to drive it right now, but will it in a couple years when they jack up the electric rates cause they have to build new power plants and run more lines and add bigger transformers? There are a lot of areas in this country where the electricity crisis is bigger than the fuel crisis.
