No - not the die-hard carb guys. Thats a bad comparison/analogy. Fuel injection was a replacement for one small system on an engine and its better in basically every. Sure, if you have a collectible car that you show and want to or have to keep it stock then thats different. Short of that, there isnt a big "carb forever" club...is there?
You're talking about a 100% fundamental change to how performance cars will operate. Its the entire "engine" being replaced by batteries. How does a battery "improve" the driving experience? Ill answer: It doesnt. How does a battery make the ownership experience better? It doesnt. How does a battery facilitate upgrades, tweaking and other very much enjoyable hobby aspect of "toy" car ownership? It doesnt. Geesh - even on Camaro forums we cant get away from stupid battery stuff. Ugh.
Guess we'll just stick to our niche although I believe there is a damned huge following for ICE cars. It wont be a niche at all.
