On a related note...and pardon my complete lack of knowledge here - but for the electrics...why can't somewhat less powerful motors be used - get those zero to sixty times back out to around six or so seconds. Heck, get a manual (or auto) tranny back in there too! Stands to reason that this would increase range quite a bit, and/or facilitate quicker charging. Make sense?
In the meantime...I'll continue to be happily/nimbly carving up the twisties in my humble 944!
