I thought it was the commonality of loving these cars for what they are and also Love of tuning and everything that comes with it. Including our combustion engines. "Some tradition is why we buy Z's and why most buy muscle. I guess to you a sports car just means you are faster than most and that's it huh?
And the forefront of technology isn't so much all that true in the affordable sports car realm. A lot of that tech is hand me down tech from decade old exotics. The Z's SRM is a hand-me-down tech from DRM recalibrated to work on manuals. Vvel is just an update of older tech and the 7at is just dual overdrives. These are things that aren't huge breakthroughs. Its just improving on an old invention. Its not like the Z has the GTR tranny in it with other gadgetry and features. Your beloved mustang still rolling on a skate board suspension isn't screaming high tech at all. So I'm not sure where you get sports cars are at the forefront of technology? At least in the price range we are in.

Holy crap!
I didn't dismiss it at all.
You are acting like the community will totally fall apart if we get rid of the internal combustion engine. That's simply not true. We'll all still be here... we'll just be looking at different things.
Suspension stuff will be pretty much unchanged, but on the power side we won't be talking FI or bolt ons but we'll be talking tuning, battery packs, etc...
It doesn't ruin the tradition of sports cars or modding sports cars, it just changes it... Yes, it changes it A LOT, but it doesn't mean it will destroy it.
I'm very much an enthusiast. I'm just open-minded. It's kind of ridiculous for you to imply I'm not
simply because I don't share the same opinion that EV or alternative fuels are going to destroy the "tradition" of sports cars.
You are very passionate about what you believe... I'll give you that.
