Precisely. Ford used the same logic when they released the GT500 with 662 HP.

As of today, the EV market is a small subset of the car market as a whole. You can’t say that there is a “car market”. There is a sports coupe market, sports sedan market, small SUV market, truck market, etc. There is not much cross shopping between trucks or sports coupes which puts them in defacto separate markets.…

All of the parts that come on the Demon are stock...

The Camaro stopped using the Holden chassis in 2016. The Alpha platform was developed in the US for Cadillac and Camaro.

Tesla is trying to invent the EV market. Prior to Tesla EVs were thought of as nothing more than extremely compromised vehicles that were hardly a step up from golf carts. Tesla showed that EVs can have full creature comforts and some resemblance of performance.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if the Demon is a bit faster. I doubt Hennessey brought the suspension to the level that it is only really functional on a drag strip.

I think he means the additional A/C redirect that chills the water for the liquid to air cooling system.

This is a beast in it’s own right. I might not take a turn but who has a street legal car from the factory that can match this?

I guess Jalopnik shouldn’t ever write about Ferraris, Lamborghinis, M3s, M4s, M5s or any other car that costs more than $80k since those cars will only ever be owned by trust fund babies or 75 year old boomers by your metrics. There are many interesting and expensive cars in their own rights. I don’t see anyone…

It probably gets in the way of NHTSA required safety equipment.

It’s so...smooth.

Sounds like a “Been there, done that” situation.

I have a 200 mile drive that I make about once every 6-8 weeks, and I had a favorite toilet until they lost their lease. In Kentucky we have FiveStars and Thorntons.

I can agree that self service checkout is slower, and that is because it’s by design. When the cashier scans and item he doesn’t have a scale that has to see the weight of the items for 2 seconds before it lets you scan the next item. Buy 20 items and you are adding nearly a minute of checkout time just for the…

You said it in one word, speculation. Yes the ultimate goal of a business is to create money. In a well established market you invest in the companies that are making profit over ones that aren’t. Tesla is not in an established market. They are trying to invent a new market. Investors are investing based on…

Battery technology is advancing faster than typical development cycles for the rest of the vehicle. This is both good and bad.

I think what is weird is that long term trends are pretty well known. It is all but certain that we will be driving electric cars in the future with autonomous features slowly trickling in. However, what isn’t clear is when the major shift will occur with the customer. Many factors from the price of oil, tax structure…

Goose!? Goose!?

It doesn’t say what kind of doctor he was, but Louisville does have many doctors who are regarded specialists in their respective fields. I know many people who have traveled hundreds of miles to see doctors in Louisville.

I was just posting the NHRA rules. They amended them a few years because factory cars were starting to require cages per the old rules. In many cases cages also interfered with OEM safety equipment which is a separate issue.
