With all that weight at the nose (far more than an LSx,) I bet the handling is awful too.
Though I hope they can make the trunk more useful since it won't need a fuel tank!

You probably won't believe the Tesla roadster site then either... 0-60 in 3.9 sec with 220 mi. range. Sure, Tesla started with a Lotus, but they are making their numbers real, and the less aggressive AMP numbers seem realistic to me.
