Screaming performance, if I'm buying an expensive vehicle I want to showoff with it, a loud engine helps in that, it also looks better and would completely demolish the ev in an actual proper track race because that's where it’s designed to perform in The ev's however better if you have a big family and also want to showoff your unexpected high performance to people in such drag races

@thedumbconspirator4956 11 ай бұрын
I'd say if you want an EV 4 door that can hold its own on a track, probably the model S plaid w/ track pack. At least that's the best we got. It's among the fastest 4 doors to lap the ring and has the fastest 4 door time round willow.

@@thedumbconspirator4956 I suspect the Lucid GTP would be at least close to the Plaid at the 'Ring, and the Sapphire will quite likely be a good bit quicker. The Lucid has a much better suspension and brakes. I hope Lucid make a run at the record this year.
@thedumbconspirator4956 11 ай бұрын
@@Miata822 I don't think the lucid can keep up with a plaid round a track (sapphire maybe). The lucid is a lot more comfortable and luxurious and as such, it's far heavier. Lucid is a 5200 lb car, plaids "only" 4800 lbs in comparison, that's a 400 lb minimum weight difference and the sapphire is likely to be even heavier. And yes, while the plaids standard brakes are garbage, their carbon ceramics are pretty remarkable and I have no doubt it's gonna brake and handle better than any lucid air trim, though the sapphire does have the straight line grunt, that being said I'm curious to see how the lucid fares on the 'ring. I think it's gonna beat the taycan, but there's an 8 second gap between the taycan and plaid and my guess is it'll fall within those 8 seconds, though I'm not a fortune teller.

Keep in mind, it's 1050 horsepower vs 670 at the end of the day. Almost 400 horsepower more is nothing to scoff at, weight aside. The Z06 did pretty well against the Lucid in my opinion. Rematch when the ZR1 and Zora Corvettes are released in a couple of years and this outcome will look quite different. And they will both be cheaper than the Lucid.
