When you can recharge a EV car in under 15 minutes le me know. Until then I will stick with ICe. I think an ICE engine with electric assist is best of both worlds. Put in a battery that is big enough to give you a 50 mile range and you have a winner.

Yep this is what I am hoping for. Electric wheel hub motors for the front so a RWD muscle car can become AWD. Put the battery in the trunk where the spare tire goes. You combine V8 power with electric motors assisting at the front wheels. I am surprised nobody has tried this yet with an older RWD Mustang.
Well in general he's not wrong... And let's not even get started on the OVERALL speed records. I mean, 3 second 1/4 mile ICE cars have been around a long ass time now. Electric is absolutely no where near that. Then you have NA 4 cylinder Honda's running 8s these days.
Sure, these are heavily modified ICE vehicles, but that's the thing. They actually have the capability to outperform electrics. You aren't "modding" a Tesla to run 5s/6s/7s anytime soon. If ever.
I'd be curious to see if the supposed new Tesla Roadster w/ SpaceX Option does a 1/4 mile in the high 7 second range. Elon claimed a 0-60 in 1.1 seconds would be possible with thrusters.
Simple? No. Expensive and extensive testing ? Yes! They hurt the engine? Yes! Research before posting
