Interesting, but who needs $70,000 truck with 1000 hp to drive just short distances, even if it has a 300 mile range where can you go? Not even across my state.

Sorry. I'm not interested in an electric pickup truck of any kind!! I'll take that good old Big Block V6 any day of the week over one of these newer "electric toys"!!

Default Re: Electric GMC

In the last couple decades I have raced pickups with home built centrifugal superchargers and up to 76 mm turbos. I wonder what a nice 64 mm turbo setup with a Holley sniper efi would be like, to get just a bit more grunt?
