I suppose you could destroke it to a 3L or something like that. Pagani were able to bump the redline of the M120 up to 7500 RPM while keeping the displacement.

admit it, we’re old.

A 12000 RPM M120 would also have peak piston accelerations roughly twice those of an F1 V12. It would tear itself apart in seconds. Fun while it lasted though.

I think the idea of a truly good exhaust is lost in this day in age. Replacing your muffler with a Borla cat back will never sound as good as an engineered exhaust like these.

I honestly still don’t understand the rage against Tesla.

Exactly, Tesla came out of nowhere and right now, their closest competition has been a $100k Porsche. 

Wait, I’m confused. You were originally talking about the Taycan and VW sent you an E-tron diagram? Isn’t the E-tron inherently inferior because it’s not built on a dedicated EV-platform, whereas the Taycan is and therefore should’ve addressed these issues from the getgo...?

I don't know if it is "cutting corners" to not design a car to do a bunch of dumb shit nobody ever actually does.

He’s calling for regulation, not nationalization. Big difference.

You do know that Tesla paid for their network right? It`s like saying that GM should be forced to let Ford use their factories cause you know, unfair...

Most laughable is the bit about long-term battery health as if Audi gives a fuck about reliability outside of their warranty.

Don't apologise for shit Hogan. You spoke the truth and Audi fed you marketing garbage. Tesla for all their faults, has absolutely destroyed in battery and motor tech.

Tesla has most of what’s been outlined here. Their battery packs monitor/cool/heat on per cell level. You can’t replace specific modules as easily, but who has needed to? (Tesla degradation is <1% per year and the packs built in the last few years have been /very/ solid) Teslas also have heat pumps on the motors as,…

The Model 3 has routinely beat the BMW M3 at head to head track matchups for auto magazines. The delta grows the more tight and technical the track is.

Or maybe it is because Tesla has better aerodynamics along with more efficient inverters and motors (especially on the Model3, which has bled back to the S/X).

And excuses, apparently.

LANNNAAAAAA!

I dunno, owning a fighter jet like that seems like it would be approaching an unsafe area of some sort. A zone of danger, if you will.
