They won't go electric only on the Mustang or Camaro for a generation or two, assuming they survive that long. To do that on the next gen Mustang would be too much too fast.

Can't say I'm a fan of electric cars. I will always love turning a wrench and working on a Gasoline Engine!!!!

I hope this doesn’t violate forum rules. The story is funny as hell....to me at least. We’ll see what you guys think. I’m out this evening running an errand. On one road there was a guy in what was apparently his new Challenger 5.7 R/T. He was driving like a dick, to put it mildly. Swerving in and out of lanes to get to where he would be first at a light, then launching hard from the light. The way this road was timed, there were a lot of lights.
Finally, he winds up next to me at a light. Light changes, I floor it and shock the bejeebers out of him. I wasn’t driving my Camaro. I was driving a BMW i3s electric car that I’ve had as a press car this weekend. That thing is freaky fast 0 - 40. Think Tesla Model S lined up with a Demon, only the i3 is way more dorky looking than a Model S. But the result was the same. Surprise and humiliation.

I can't get over those pizza cutter tires on the i3. I would think you can't take a corner very fast since your tread contact with the road is minuscule at best.

When I first saw an i3, I could not believe it was a BMW. I didn't think they could make a car that hideous. I don't know If I'd want to be seen in one. It reminded me a little of the Pontiac Aztek.
As for this Mustang, it might look cool, but I couldn't help but wonder about the ways in which Ford could screw up the electric motor, lol. |

Pretty ironic statement, considering today’s news.

I'd be down for a gasoline / electric hybrid like the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.
