Lol, the amount of shills pushing Schwab's agenda on a forum dedicated to performance cars is hilarious.

I hear you...I'm waiting for the "economical" performance cars with instant torque. Imagine an 86 with torque

Put a catless UEL header and have professional tune (not some canned oft bs) and you'll have plenty of torque.

Do you have any sources of your own you care to share to educate us? While you do that, let us know how you determined your sources were not Google search BS, all slanted to push us towards fossil fuels.

This is the Other Vehicles & General Automotive Discussion subforum, so this is the place to discuss the future of cars. EVs are the future, and they will likely have superior performance like they are already demonstrating, so I don’t really get your point.

Again, on what timeline do you expect the world to run out of oil and/or need to transition to renewable vehicles? 10 years, 50 years, 100 years, 1000 years? What’s your evidence? I’ve posted mine, so it is there for scrutiny. If you have a tangible rebuttal and evidence for us to consider then let’s see it.

Also, this is a car forum with plenty of members who might stance their car, despite a drop in performance, or they might be into show & shine, or they might into car audio systems and BASE competitions without much concern for performance. They might just like the size, shape and customization options for this platform and have no interest in performance.

EVs, which will have great performance, will be enjoyed just the same for many different groups of car enthusiasts.

I have no problem with evs. It's the cow farts I'm concerned with. All that poisonous methane being produced. I'm sure gates and shwab are near a solution for that though. Maybe no more meat?

Imagine a world, in which people are manipulated into consuming as much fossil fuel and emitting as much CO2 as they possibly can, and then thinking that any effort to reverse that trend is a *conspiracy*! Well, you don't have to imagine too hard...

I've never felt manipulated into driving a car. I've never seen internal combustion as a political agenda, grouped in with gender switching and sexual immorality

I’m plant based.

Weird to think there is more biomass of pets than all wild land mammals. Lots of cow farts, methane burbs, water, feedstock and land for one species. Probably will need to go in the long run unless we have population collapse. Maybe Musk has convinced enough people to have ten babies, in which case, eventually the cows will be next on the chopping block—pun intended.
