Some things should NOT be messed with. The C8 is a fine machine. Build on that. If you must have a performance EV, come up with a new name, or revive one without the same heritage.
Maybe Fiero, given their tendency to ignite unexpectedly.
I think high end sports cars, which are basically toys, are the perfect application for electric vehicles. From a strictly performance standpoint gas cars can’t hold a candle to EV’s. It is range and recharge time that make them impractical. Cars that purposely put performance over practicality will naturally move to EV, no incentives required.
