I bet that instant torque with the electric motor feels sweet... Read about this in road and track a while ago; its pretty awsome, but not for that price.

No freaking noise either! that's got to be the weirdest part driving it. Chicago is a core market target for '08, so I'll being stopping by there when they open - I doubt they'll be offerring test drives though.

Yeah, I can squeak 14 out if I stay out of the gas.... I'd say its definitely closer to 10 though on average..... Especially if I dump racing fuel into it, then its all downhill from there.
