muscle cars aren't about fast, or horsepower, or anything logical. They're a feeling. The rumble, the sound, the vibration.

Electric cars just can't reproduce that. they can be faster, quicker, better off the line...but they don't FEEL the same.

In this regard, electric cars are worse even than 'normal' cars. They're too quiet. If recently one of the car brands did not introduce a (very too quiet) beep on one of their EVs when reversing, I would have been ran over in a parking lot. And my hearing is more than fine (to the point that I have to disconnect electronics when sleeping because I hear them).

EVs are not completely silent, but often times the sounds of the environment are louder, thus making EVs harder to notice through hearing.
