C&D’s 1/4 mile times are WAAAAAAAAAY more accurate than anyone else.

I feel like barring the SkyActiv entry, none of the first five engines really should’ve been on this list, the Honda included.

Yup. Always trust the Germans. That’s my motto. 

Way better handling and braking and interior/build quality and a Porsche badge...that’s not a hard sell.

Yet Audi themselves use the name quattro on their Haldex systems as well as on some other recent systems that do not use Torsen.

-I’ve only got a minute here in 1998. But I just wanted to tell you: Y2K was a total non-event. Don’t worry about that one.

Stop making excuses for the new failure of an NSX. It is nothing like the old one, entirely the opposite car philosophy actually. And yes, that is what the car was about - experimental and new tech etc. But NOBODY will be wanting one of these things, new, or in 20 years from now.

All things aside, the main thing that bums me out about electric cars is how similar they all are, you touched upon that in the article a few times as well. Without gasoline engines and real transmissions, there’s not a whole lot of character left in cars, so eventually it’ll just be a bunch of appliances that drive

One could say that it’s been a positive for Elon, maybe even gave him a little surge.

Seriously, where is the anti-Tesla bias? Or are you confounding Elon with Tesla?

Did you actually read the first sentence or just the headline?

Why, no one puts a $12,000 exhaust that sounds like an F1 car on an old Mercedes because they want more power.

Aren’t there plenty of vehicles that are considered production models and only have low-hundreds production numbers? 300 to me seems pretty production

Fastest 4 door around Laguna Seca, period? Not just fastest electric 4 door? Interesting claim. That would mean it beat the Jaguar XE SV Project 8, which set a 7:18 around the Ring - significantly faster than the Taycan.

Yeah, because we all want to drive around the ring at 5/10ths to make sure we don’t go into limp mode.

You missed...

First off, don’t you think EV fires are rare .... because there are less EV’s?

Why do you doubt that car exists? GM is not Tesla. 

They are shaped that way because of the material they used. If they were metal, they wouldn’t have all those “crazy shapes”.
