but your missing the point, the car loses all soul, all personality. no sound or any sense of animation will make even the fastest car seem boring
example:
2010 tesla 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
2010 aston martin db9 in 4.7 seconds
although the tesla is faster i GARUNTEE the aston is more exhilarating to drive because it has a sense of excitement and gives the illusion of speed with a great engine note. there is no replacing the feeling of a driver getting to run thru gears or hear a beautiful exhaust note.
electric cars lack all those things that make a great car a great car.
We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?
