Wonder if this now means we are only a few years away from 700 stock hp from Chevy or Ford? It's gotta stop sometime, doesn't it?

They have to be careful, though, because they can't have the ZL1 encroaching too far into Z06/ZR1 territory.

Ford, on the other hand, doesn't have anything above the GT500 it needs to worry about... for now.

I'm going to say doubtful.

20-30 years from now we will all be looking back on these days and 650hp-ish will probably be the pinnacle of power for the Mustang. We aren't too far away from the EPA coming in and forcing us all into pussified hybrids.

I feel like we are living in the golden age of gasoline-powered automotive performance. We need to take it all in and enjoy it while we can, gentlemen, because it's not going to last for long.

Maybe, but just because a car is hybrid/electric doesn't mean it can't outperform or be as fun as the gasoline powered cars we have now.

That's beside the point.

We will have electric motors in each wheel hub. They will act as the engine an the brakes. We will have more power transferred to the ground an options of applying power as needed at each corner. As gas engines go away we wont miss performance. In fact it's performance that will eventually drive consumers to the electric market. But if you miss the sound of a gas powered engine I'm sure someone will come up with a sound track that will give you back that sound.

You can always do an engine swap. Actually it would be more like an engine implant :icon17:

I would take a tesla roadster.

I like the route Jaguar went with th CX-75, and even better: Official: Jaguar C-X75 to be built - BBC Top Gear

:iagree:

Porsche 918 is also nice :tup:

Best part of an electric motor... instant torque!! Worst part of an electric motor... instant torque!

I agree but it costs less and is still badass.

Yeh $50k Vs $90k
