"Electric gives you instant torque whereas gasoline you have to build up," Brown said. "As we learn to manage it, you're going to see some really amazing performances."

brown believes electric vehicles will challenge the top drag-racing records within five years.

yes amasing, but getting torque out of electric motors is nothing new... laying down enough traction and keeping the front end on the ground however...

Lay down a linear electric motor (like on some of the roller coasters) and you'd see a WHOLE bunch of amasing things. People dying from the organs crushing themselves against the driver's spine - that kind of thing...

But back to the real world. So long as there is rubber on road ... but yes, very interesting.
