If you had, you would know that electrics have FULL torque at 0 rpm. Not only will they take you on acceleration, but down the pipe too. Electric motors can switch between running series and parallel keeping horsepower at its peak. I say to you, good luck. Watch youtube videos of the White Zombie drag car and be amazed.

Could this be indicative of corporate culture issues at GM that are partly responsiible for GM's bankruptcy? What steps have been taken to implement a change in corporate culture as part of the bankruptcy procedure? Is GM capable of changing it's corporate culture?

What steps have been taken to implement a change in corporate culture as part of the bankruptcy procedure?

Is GM capable of changing it’s corporate culture?
