I guess you're right, especially at walmart :wow: 

God help us all.....:pray:

 

 

Walmart isn't my favorite place to be either.....but those savvy shoppers aren't willing to pay for anything.  Thats why they're there.

 

Instead, stop by your local legislative office.  Your officials will pay any amount of money for something stupid because its not their money.  So as we see our more of our tax dollars purchasing city / county electric vehicles you can bet that the cost to fix those vehicles isnt high on their give a crap list.

Is this a joke, how much does that car cost new? This just doesn't make any sense. Who is stupid enough to pay that. 

These second gens look better and better all the time don't they.

Looks like Chevy is stepping into the Electric drag racing market.

I wonder what Dodge is going to do once their purpose built drag car that is no longer king of the hill?      No specs on charging or range, but I expect much of the same as we have now.  

 

The curious thing about the article is that the 700hp  800 volt motors use a mounting system that is identical to the current LS Line.....  The day of the electric Crate motor is upon us.

Perhaps most important, Tatarevic says, is that the housing for the electric motors matches that of GM’s combustion LS motors, which are supremely popular.

People go to the drag strip to hear the roar of the motors and the smell of fuel...  Not to hear the whizzing sounds of electric motors.  Thats not picking on electric motors either but just making a point that just because electric motors are fast doesnt mean they give me the same kinda chub.

 

Its like all the hype about robotic racing vehicles.  WHY...?  Whats the point...?  Racing is about the human element.....not just winning.

robot racing doesn't make sense,  there is no human error to make one team better or worse.....no one wants to watch a preprogrammed race.

 

Whenever I have driven an electric car I feel like I am Han Solo.   they make a pretty cool sound, but is it not as unearthed as a big block gasser.
