I called it!
So let me get this in order. Someone is going to remove the integral part of what makes a Hotrod a hotrod and replace it with something less than.....

I guess I'm seeing the other side.
Removing what's likely about a 15 to 13 second quarter mile in a 3800 pound car power plant that may also be the source of frustration and time lost to troubleshooting and likely gets about 15 MPG, with an ultra efficient and ultra durable system that can easily do a 13 second if not faster 1/4 mile with no adverse affects whatsoever to routine daily driving.
In case people are not aware, other forms of electric motor driven vehicles such as trolleys, and train locomotives routinely reuse the electric motor portion of their power and drive systems, sometimes even for several decades, while the other portions of those systems, namely the diesel/gas engine get replaced.
Don;t get me wrong, I LOVE driving my 318 powered 1973 vehicle.
...but if I wanted a 12 second car that costs less to operate (barring current battery replacement), I'd be hard pressed to do that staying with gasoline technology.
