Electric Shelby Cobra clone

Nope. It has no soul. I don't care how fast it is.

2.8 0-60 is almost as fast as my ktm

I can remember not too many years ago, such technology was the stuff of science fiction. Much of the technology that has advanced is that of the batteries. The batteries were and are still the biggest limiting factor in any electric vehicles.

So Ford is creating new brands…Bronco and Mustang will be sub-brands under Ford, each with their own vehicle lineups, much like Stellantis does with Jeep.

Soon there may be separate showrooms for the Bronco lineup, Mustang lineup, etc.

You all naysayers can scoff and harrumph all you want but it’s coming but even mediocre electric vehicles will stomp most any high performance gas engine.

And turn 1day trips into 3day trips, or more. ROFLMAO

True to some extent, but high performance electric vehicles, just like the high performance gasoline vehicles are going to be expensive and not affordable but for the well heeled buyer. High performance isn't cheap regardless of the source of power supplied to it.

Is this what the public wants? A step on the pedal 0-60 in 2 seconds. A maximum range of 300 miles (in warm weather) with a need to book into a motel while it charges. Not what I want. I grew out of that burn rubber start as a kid.

At the end of the day, it’s still cheaper to make an EV fast versus a gasser.

$130k now buys the quickest production vehicle, the Model S Plaid…that’s 30% more than a loaded pickup truck.

Before EVs, 30% more than a loaded pickup truck didn’t get you anywhere near the fastest prediction vehicle.

It appears you may be thinking like a democrat. It's not about speed It's about Not being forced in this EV direction.
I'll be keeping my fossil fuel burning Classic.

Well I don’t think anyone is going to be driving a Cobra cross country but your point is noted.

It may be 10 years away but electric vehicles will improve and be able to drive extended ranges.

I can say I’ve never been accused of thinking like a Democrat.

I’m just stating the obvious. Electric vehicles are coming and aren’t going anywhere. I’m not saying they are the best solution and certainly not less detrimental to the environment.

But in the comparison above a Tesla plaid at $130k vs a Bugatti Chiron at $2m reinforces my point. Electric technology is far ahead of gas in terms of performance at a much lower price point.

People that mine the elements to be made into batteries are the new slaves of Africa and wherever they mine that stuff. And who owns the rights to those materials? As long as it takes 3 hours to fast charge it will never fly. I can't drive from Wichita Falls to Dallas and home again in Wichita Falls with an EV. It's not that an electric motor is bad versus a gas motor, it's the fuel source that is the problem. And how long it takes to replenish that fuel.

There will always be something faster....

To be sure, technology will advance.

I'd much rather twist the throttle of my Road King and hear that big cam V-twin rumble than some high pitched whiny electric motor. Once again, I don't care how fast it is...YMMV.

I need to tow.
A long way.
In any weather.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Well, even with a big block, I don't think this would be a good choice.

 

[Coyote9]

Well time does march on.. put some Bose speakers on it to imitate the good vibrations

I don’t think any Shelby Cobra, regardless of what’s under the hood, is gonna be a good solution for you
