Numerous car makers and gearheads have builtGenovation-GXE-Corvette-Z06-with-an-Electric-Motor-01 extremely quick electric vehicles, but who holds the speed record? Not necessarily who’d you’d expect. The International Mile Racing Association has declared that Genovation’s GXE, a heavily modified Chevy Corvette, is the world’s fastest street-legal electric car. As you’ll see in the video, the sports EV hit a brisk 186.8MPH while hardly breaking a sweat. The GXE team accomplished the feat in its first day of testing, in fact, so it’s entirely possible that you’ll see higher speeds in the near future.

Pretty impressive but god help anyone that puts and electric motor in a classic Mustang. It just wouldn't be right. All whishhh but no Varooom. Lets face it, the days of fossil fuel burning cars coming to and silent end. I hope my kids still get to enjoy the pleasures of leaving a carbon foot print for shear pleasure and fun. 
He, with the most toys wins.
