- semi-extrinsic 10y agoNo, I think more like Dodge Charger Hellcat buyers. Those who pony up for a 911, SLS or R8 want a car that'll go faster around the Nürburgring than a Honda Civic Type R. Which I think even the P100D won't be able to (too heavy, brakes and motors overheat). Edit: why the downvotes? It's well documented that the P90D is no quicker than a Civic Type R around a proper racetrack.
- tracker1 10y agoI think the P90D/P100D buyers are not the types to necessarily by a Charger or Challenger. They're fun cars but a bit louder... just got a 2016 392 Scat Pack Shaker Challenger a few months ago, very fun car... but not in any way similar to any Tesla. It's just a different feel. That said, most aren't in a position to really push their cars, and they don't... It's mostly bragging and any car with a 0-60 under 5 seconds will give a lot of that fun.
