Shit, I ran an electric Mazda RX-7 in '96 that would run 12 second quarter miles. "Performance" is an area where electrics stomp the shit out of gas - you make peak torque at 0 RPM and a 500HP electric motor weighs about 130lbs.

The trick is endurance. Pike's Peak is the perfect race for an EV to show off. Thanks for sharing this.
