I’m a big muscle car fan, drive a Chrysler 300c SRT8.
You simply can’t use the performance legally and it’s a lot slower than the Charger R/T.
The main reason the ICE V8 is preferred is nothing to do with the performance. It’s like a Harley Davidson. The fun is in the noise, the drama and the authenticity.
You can’t fake that big American V8 snarl.
Trying to fake it was never going to work.
- spullara 1y agothere is no performance. this is terrible: "The Chrysler 300C SRT8 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.5 to 4.9 seconds"
- smackeyacky 1y agoThe Australian cars were limited to 270km/h so yeah no performance there :eye roll The point is, the EVs have incredible acceleration but nobody gives a flying fart because it has all the drama of toasting bread.
- formerly_proven 1y agoDon’t be so dismissive, it’s a 2000s American car, be happy it has a transmission with more than three gears.
- smackeyacky 1y agoRecycled Mercedes parts make up a good bit of the design. The engine is pure Americana via mexico
- bob1029 1y agoThere is a presence that you get with some of these engines. Go try a V8 with a proper supercharger on it. I bet at least 1 EV genius would convert after the first ride. Nothing compares. The EV is faster, but it will never feel that fast. For me, it's about being in control of a complex thermodynamic engine. When you add an additional element that the brain can use as feedback (the whine of the blower) it makes the experience much more engaging.
