Tesla D vs Hellcat

[bigi]

...

Why are you so resistant to being impressed by a family car that is SO blistering fast and cheap to run? I find it bizarre. I never said it was the be-all and end-all of cars - I just found my experience with its acceleration one of the most impressive things I have ever experienced in a car (honestly probably the most impressive). I can't imagine a car guy who wouldn't be blown out by what it can do. As Car magazine said, it feels faster than a Veyron (not that I have ever driven or ridden in one of those). http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Drives/Search-Results/First-drives/Tesla-Model-S-P85D-2015-review/

+1. Let it be. There are always some who are so resistant to change that even the most impressive technology on all levels is just too much to handle for their brains. It kind of reminds me of times when MS decided to ditch XP.

In any case, the gasoline engines are old, inefficient, loud, with crappy torque curves and just plain boring. Let them all die.

Mmmm The muzzle velocity of the M18 Hellcat is 2600 ft/s. It would cover the quarter mile in 0.507 seconds @ 1772.7mph. Checks out.

Huh? Hellcat does 1/4 in 11.2, Tesla in 11.6

i read 11.4 on tesla. if I'm wrong, still, that's only .4 seconds. Faster, but not that significant for your average driver.

That time is amazing for a factory stock car well under 100K.
