Electric cars should out perform internal combustion cars. Electric motors have a power to weight ratio about two times higher than reciprocating internal combustion. Also you don't need a gearbox since electric motors produce close to 100% torque at 0rpm.

They aren't even production yet... they keep selling them to people but they haven't gone into final stages of production yet.

How much is one willing to pay?

I know someone who has built one, sold it and is currently manufacturing another.

a coach with linford Christie and assorted 100m sprinting niggers. 10-12 should do. Use electricity in the form of an electric prod to get them to run fast. Great acceleration, and great pussy magnet.
