Mad? Don't be. The thread title was a lure; I don't agree.
As you guys buy and drive your electric cars you are certain to encounter troglodytes who dismiss electric power as lame, weak, even less than manly. Now I am a piston guy and I like to go fast; the Leaf was not built for me. I do, however, value the many benefits of electric power and believe there is a place for it and that it is the future. Perhaps raw, irresponsible power is not your thing and that's fine with me, but when you come across those that think your responsible, economical car is all that electric can be, send them to this video and ask them again how "girly" electric power is.

That is a GT-R getting it's butt spanked nine ways to sunday by an all-electric daily-driven Datsun named White Zombie. That's gotta suck
Check the beast out.

There are many types of drivers and I applaud those of you that enjoy passing the gas-drinkers at the pumps and wanted to let you know there are other drivers that like to pass them on the track.
