Ok, sure.
But this is not the "keeping the stock performance of the MGR" thread.
***edit***
I'm sorry for the snarky response - I've cut most of it out. I'm attempting to be more positive here.

I hear you in that the mass of the motor can be used for short bursts of considerably more than the rated power. That definitely is an advantage of an electric motor of any type. It has been taken to extremes by the EV drag-racing crowd, who can start with an almost cold motor and race for less than 15 seconds.
However, one my goals is to use the car for road racing track days. The motor(s) - this will be one of four - will be pushed to their max the entire time. That time will be limited by the energy stored in the battery - between 20 and 30 minutes. If I run up against thermal limiting for the motor, I'll need to work more on the cooling system.
Electric drive has real potential for outperforming IC systems.
I intend to explore that.
