But as we've seen with Tesla, Rivian and others, electric is no barrier to horsepower. Horsepower is a barrier to range, but that's a different problem.

No, the reason there's no market for an electric Challenger et al is because the electric one doesn't sound right.

Around here, it seems pretty much every other pony car (Challenger, Mustang, Camaro) has reworked the exhaust system to "sound better", so it can be enjoyed by everyone else within a mile as they do their full throttle runs down empty street at night.

It should also be noted that Cadillac has already (year or so ago?) stated they won't be making any more ICE performance cars. All of their future ones will be electric. I doubt this is GM wide, pretty sure the ICE Corvette is filed in GMs "cold, dead hands" drawer.

You can count on a plugin hybrid C8 or C9 Corvette, and eventually a full electric. It's inevitable.
