This is how almost all motorsport power trains work.

I generally think of it as you’re “dumping” all the power onto the wheels at once, but hell who knows what’s going on right?

Cause when you rocket your foot off of the clutch pedal, it literally dumps the the pressure plate onto the friction disc....at least with a traditional clutch design.

Agreed, but the question is why it was so fast around the ring. Downforce and low weight compared with current stuff is why.

BEV isn’t necessarily the most clean answer. Series hybrid, hydrogen, synthetic fuels all need to be considered.

The way dealers spec cars is ridiculous. I always struggle to understand how anyone things silver with beige interior looks good. Reminds me of an insane asylum decor.

Viper ACR had HUGE down force. Everyone makes a big deal about the new 911 GT3 RS, the ACR was making that down force awhile ago.

Corvettes tend to be tire cars, most of their performance comes from giant sticky tires. This works great on smooth, dry, warm racetracks. The ring is none of those things, it’s why they struggle at the ring.

I don’t think the point was to figure out relative speed, it was to point out the car was fun.

Would be interesting to figure out how much head space the motor has. If you threw a better/more modern motor controller and battery in it, maybe you could get 100+ hp.

Agreed, but no one wants to talk about how going all-in on BEVs is basically rushing headlong into some sort of conflict, whether physical or economic, with China.

I’ve read about it, what’s funny is this is a good example of greed producing something useful.

They’re just as guilty.

Tax vehicles by mass. You have a scooter? Cool, no tax. You have a Hummer EV? $10k/yr.

Eh....you need to view lithium and cobalt companies as similar to oil companies. Even if there is a better option they’ll do everything they can to stop it.

Because everything Honda make are hideous.

It’s been great for me, and it’s so smooth and responsive.

Agreed. Been great for me, they're even easy to work on.

This is the correct answer.

It’s inevitable.
