All that’s left is the sound.

What would it be like to go to the Drag Strip without ear plugs? Like a day without sunshine. EV's have their issues and right now the dirty little secret is how much fossil fuel is needed to get juice to the charging stations (hint it ain't wind or solar). I (now) own my own lovely 2020 GT because is sounds like a Mustang, it roars when I want it to and it returns me to days when I was riding in or driving the originals, "Stang, "Cuda, Charges, Vette, GTO and more.

100% agree! I'm an electrical engineer (power generation and distribution) and the electric industry has been good to me for the last 43 years :cwl: but nothing like the rumble of a V8 to get the senses going! That's why I'm driving a 5 OHHHH. Most people with EVs have no clue where the electricity comes from to charge their "green" planet saving vehicles. They have no clue the amount of maintenance and cost needed for the "free" electricity from wind turbines. Nothing is free. Both need to coexist....I think the technology for these types of EV muscle cars is very cool. I may never own one but I find them interesting.

What do you think the "Hello rev" crowd will do in the electric, yell hello ?

And the old school low, deep rumble will survive ? :champagne:

Did you know...? they had to add a sound to the Tesla's when backing up because ppl couldn't hear them and there were pedestrian "encounters". Maybe you'll be able to buy sound mods to go Broooooom, brooommm! LMAO

That Lucid is supposed to get over about 520 miles out of a charge if equipped with the 20" wheels instead of the 21's. I like the electric tech and yet I still like the good ole gas motors also. I wouldn't mind adding one to the garage but not to replace anything.........ahhhh but only one problem....that msrp of $169.900 and the fact that every single one was reserved and sold before the first one left the factory.
