I appreciate the volumes of knowledge required to build and tune an ICE to perform the way you want. However, if I were building a muscle car, I'd build it electric. What's more muscly than 1000 ft/lbs of torque? What's more simple than an electric motor, controller, and batteries?

Does the definition of "muscle" preclude the use of a turbo? I suppose that's more ricer territory. Are we limited to cam profiles and compression ratios then?
