Sure, some EVs are fast, but they don't deliver the same experience EMOTIONALLY, which is a very big part of what makes auto enthusiasts so attached to their hobby. And I'd argue most of that is the aural experience of roaring internal-combustion engine. It's why I prefer Inline-6 engines over most other configurations: they SOUND better. I have a fairly small-displacement (250cc) motorcycle with carburetors, objectively slower and less performant than some of the sports cars I've owned or ridden in, and yet it delivers a totally unique and stimulating experience. As a neophyte rider it still makes my spine tingle to go >100kph on this thing, while I don't bat an eye at bouncing off the electronically-limited top speed (~185kph) in my Evo. It wasn't until I experienced a motorcycle that I came to look at driving as just a little bit.....bland. And from a spectator perspective, not many people wanna watch EVs humming almost silently around a track. I think most gearheads will feel similarly: even if they are fast they are underwhelming as an emotive experience.
