And no I do not think an emasculated hybrid is a performance car on par with internal combustion technology stock or modified. I think we all want to hand this hobby down to the kids right?  |
Do not confuse what is going on in Europe with the USA. France is almost the same size as Texas with a population of 67 million people - almost 3X that of Texas. And of those 67M almost 65M live in metropolitan areas. Air pollution is definitely a problem.
Here in the USA, we have a much greater tolerance for air pollution from cars. Plus only about 25% of the USA has access to mass transit.
And what are you worried about? AFAIK one of the Tesla electric cars can kick the crap out of any of the 1960/1970s muscle cars hands down. BTW - spare me the argument concerning exhaust noise . . . Muscle cars are all about 1/4 mile ETs.
