I've bought that car 20 years ago because of the performance possibilities it presents when building it yourself as a hobby.

Performance wise I'm no competition for a Tesla , it will leaf you burning rubber without any sound or drama.
And I have to say I really love that and respect the tecnology behind it.
Because they don't blow hugh amounts of unburned fuel into the air , leak oil everywhere and need very little maintenance.
Only thing is the batteries , don't know about the future implications of those .

It just kinda put a negative spin on my hobby.

Just venting.
I've been driving first gen GTO's every day , to and from work, to the store, cross country, etc. for the past 45 years. So not a 'hobby' for me.
Electric cars are fast, impractical appliances, nothing more. If that appeals to you, great. Sell the old GTO and buy a nice new appliance. In 20 years, guess which one will be recycled into washing machines and toasters and guess which one will gain in value? LOL....
