In practical terms, I see no advantage to an electric pump. I think they got to be used on performance cars because the OEM mechanical pumps were marginal on modified engines. Aftermarket mechanical pumps are now more than adequate for up to 500 bhp.

I don't like that, if the electric pump is mounted in the rear, the entire fuel line is pressurized. Plus, they are usually noisy.
