- PStamatiou 18y agoI could have given a massive list of examples of cars faster than the Tesla but figured "most people" covered me there. I was at NAIAS 2008 during press week and watched Jeff Gordon unveil the ZR1 at GM Style. pics elsewhere on my flickr account.
- DabAsteroid 18y agoI was referring to the Tesla's wide torqueband -- "its whole 1 gear thing". It is not an exclusive feature. A ZR1 can also be driven in 1 gear only and still achieve both 0-60 in 4 seconds and a top speed over 100 mph.
