Tis true...that impressive noise is something to behold. I used to drag em a little back in High School. That was fun.
A rod came by me the other day...sounded great...when he went by I smelled that tell tale smell of racing gas. Yum. Boy had paid for the real stuff.
An electric motor car can be pretty impressive though...full torque from zero on up.
They're not for me but I guess if peeps want to play with them that's their business. Just don't mandate that I have to drive around in a golf cart. I like my hemi-fied gas guzzler, especially when I was able to find higher octane non-ethanol gas to feed her. Anybody that tells you it makes no difference as to the grade of gas you put in your tank is full of bull.
