[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16746944, member: 6727"] Back in the mid-90s, my wife and I went to CA to visit my cousin in Hawthorne (LA). While we were there, we drove to a local town that had an dragster ride. I thought they were gas powered (like a supercharged go-kart) with a controlled but loud/shaking ride. They were electric battery powered and very quiet. You basically are on a rail and you travel maybe 40'. My wife and I "raced" each other. You stab the pedal and maybe 3-4 seconds later it stops on its own. Let's just say it was a quick but boring experience. That's how I see EVs, even high performance EVs. No excitement. It just isn't right that you can launch the Plaid on a track (or highway) and talk to the passenger like you were parked. Very silent. No soul. Many who own them like them a lot. That's great. But don't expect the ICE crowd to swoon when the subject of EVs comes up here. THIS is what excites me at the track. Skip to :17 and pump up the volume!! [MEDIA=youtube]jjp0I1in1YY[/MEDIA] Inside WOT in a 2003 Cobra. Start at :17. Yeah, baby! [MEDIA=youtube]bfLbyp4iXnM[/MEDIA] This is what DOESN'T excite me at the track. Skip to :13 and don't bother pumping up the volume. LOL. [MEDIA=youtube]wMwyCUADauY[/MEDIA] Dead quiet inside cabin launch. Start at 1:53. [MEDIA=youtube]ctZORiCCPwc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
