Would a Mustang fan like an electric Mustang?

Ronaele Mustang 300E

For $80,000 you can turn your Mustang into an electric Mustang. Utilizing a 300 kWh electric motor, the Ronaele Mustang provides about 100 miles per charge of under 4 second 0 -60 power. Of course, you'll only achieve 100 mpg range at normal speeds. At 0-60, the battery will quickly run dry.

While I think this is a great way, much like the Tesla Roadster, to build momentum for electric-drive vehicles, would Mustang aficionados appreciate such a vehicle? While I love the feel of an electric-drive vehicle more than a conventional vehicle, electric drive vehicles do feel very different than a conventional vehicle, especially something like the Mustang. And, when I've been with a group of journalists test driving such vehicles, there have been complaints about electric drives.

Can muscle car fans be converted to the electric drive?
