    The salient point.......

    In a random sample of 100 drivers on your typical freeway, how many do you think are competent and responsible enough to drive this car? 5 out of 100?

    Solely based on my opinion, I would reckon maybe one in a hundred. It is difficult to explain. Makes my old turbos S feel slow! I think speed should come incrementally. There is a big difference between a 11 second car and a low 9 second car trapping in mid 155s, doing so without any drama. What shocked me the most is accelerating from 60 to 130 in less than 5 seconds.

    Model S Plaid Sets New Record For Production EVs At Nurburgring (factory stock)
    Almost 12 seconds faster than the Porsche Taycan
    https://www.motor1.com/news/532184/model-s-plaid-nurburgring-record/

    BUT, so what really. :rolleyes: There are 400hp ice cars that have faster times. It gets silly, but if Porsche is going to post Taycan lap times, then, game on. :D
