I agree that it's not going to hang with a lot of normal gasoline cars, but considering how far electric cars have come in such a short time (momentarily exclude the fact that there were electric cars in the early 1900s that were an evolutionary dead end), I think that may change before too long. Also, I believe that monkeying with a manual clutch is a misfeature (witness twin clutch type sequential manuals) and that loud engines are also just a matter of opinion, or only so popular because of the fast cars they represent, not the other way around. I think if/when electric cars are the fastest thing around there will be a lot of car guys who want nothing to do with the current side-effect of performance. (Also, big ups for track time. I haven't worked up the courage to get out there with mine yet.)
