Absolutely...I have thought over the idea of electric sports cars, Camaros, Corvettes, Ferrari's, and anything else that comes to mind. It's crazy, but I don't think I'd mind anymore.

The year that GM introduces an electric-drive train Camaro, I will keep an open mind.

I wanted to bring this up...to show that the future may not be so bleak as some might think(as I thought). The Chevrolet Volt is said to produce approx. 120 kilowatts (160hp) of power. The Tesla roadster, which is built for speed, gets 189 kilowatts (253 hp), and can go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. So the Volt will probably have very generous acceleration as well. the numbers really aren't that far off.

For those of you who like torque no.'s, the Volt has 236 pound-feet, and the Roadster has about 210 pound-feet. I'm liking the way the numbers are working out in the future of electric cars.
