0-60 in 3 seconds.........in a truck.
My issues with one are:
-I want a manual trans
-I don't see charging technology in existence today to charge it between track sessions, reliably. And my cars can get double stinted.. so that's 30 minutes charging to run up to 1 hour at full pace on track.
-Weight = higher track consumables.

I'm OK with EVs for normal usage but that's not what I use a Camaro for. I still think one needs an ICE car if they like doing road trips. And right now an EV truck is silly.. I haul 12k between the trailer, car and parts so I can't imagine how long (and how much planning) a trip to Road America, or COTA, or Laguna Seca, etc would take.

Eventually EVs will overcome all that. Or maybe we will finally just run hydrogen fuel cells.
