Just seen a new article about a KIA EV that’s going to have over 500 hp with 0-60 around 3.5 seconds on the verge.com

Bro Tesla really put the pressure on automakers... That instant torque will beat you ever time off the line.. No wheel spin no nothing.. It’s the equivalent to the roller coaster king da ka in six flags in NJ

Speed isn't everything though. Why do people buy old E30 BMWs, Air Cooled Porsche, Chevelles, 240z, 70s GT500s, etc?

None of those fast electric cars will have the feel and sound of an old gasoline car. Technology has already watered everything down with electronic steering and no manual transmission. You really don't get the same driver connected to the road feeling.

A 993 911 will always be more fun than EV cars because of the driving experience,

Yeah but everyone is not a gear head and EVs are a totally different experience of driving that’s why it will pretty much be the standard going forward.. Thry get the same mileage to a charge in the city of not better than a ice car and they getting over 350 miles to a charge on long distance drives...

Gear head or not, You still have the engine sound that can't be beat. No matter how deep you are in the car game, engine tone means a lot. Most folks ain't giving up their slower V6, V8, V10, etc for a faster EV that has no sound.

If they truly aren't a gear head, they not buying a fast EV anyway

An EV will never best this

They're discontinuing the Camaro now too, the American V8 is going the way of the dodo.

I'm trying to pick up something with a small block chevy V8 next year now that I've got the space and extra funds to work on it. I feel like I need to hurry because everything will become more expensive and scarce as EVs continue to take over.

Maybe a manual, a 10-speed Mustang GT is trapping 120+mph. AWD will keep the times close, but the Mustang will be running away as speeds increase, at least when stock.

Regardless, I test drove the M340 before buying my Mustang. It was boring.
