Power by sparks has a bit of an endurance problem with energy density as battery-storage capacity is still a problem.
You are joking right? The Z can't even do 20 minutes straight without hitting fuel starve. The electric cars do about 1.5-2 miles per kwh under track condition, you are looking at 40 miles in a P85. That's still more than enough for one session at the track. The car can do 0-60 in 3 sec with more traction and acceleration than you can use safely, how is that not fun?
