Yeah, they say "check back with us later on pricing." I can assure you it will cost more than cost of the finest show slick out there and a lifetime of dino fuel to make it go.

ya that is the problem...

the technolagy is to much $$ for the return. Gas would have to be like $10/gal to justify it.

oh and where does the charge for the batteries come from? is it the oil burning electric plan down the road, or the coal power plant up rivver???

A very nice design and I am glad that someone is making a performance electric...I will just never be able to afford one.

They say in the article that it will be priced at about $80,000.00. :shock: Yeah that is a little too rich for my blood.

gee 250 whole miles before you have to stop and charge it up for 3.5 hours,,, if you can find somewhere to do that!

..and I'd only have to stop 18 times on my way to and from Slickstock! :shock:

That's 2 and a half days waiting for it to charge up. If I made no detours.

For $80,000 dollars it should get up and wipe my arse for crying out loud... :roll:

After further review I agree with the above.

But what caught my eye was 'electric' and '0-60 in 4'

Max, I would do it, but Skip would speak unkindly to me unless Ford made the electric moter! Thanks, Lyman.

Lyman, don't worry I got some stickers in my toolbox for when Skip comes over.

It's not an option like the hardtop ROOF is it...?
I'll take the 2.

Ply that is.
