the whole reason "muscle" ice cars even exist at his point is by moving the goal posts from performance to vibes. you can see all the cope in the replies. tesla is just faster and better than these cars and they don't want it to be true.
100% pure copium:
"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."
"A "muscle car" is not just about performance numbers. It's about combustion, noise, smell, glorious inefficiency, and nostalgia--none of which even the highest performing EV can deliver."
"People who want muscle cars want to show off power."
- lan321 1y agoShould have probably replied to the quoted comment. It's true though. Their charm is the theater and ability to tinker. It's the difference between a utility car and a hobby car. If you want utility fast, get a bike or a cheap PoS and save your money for speeding tickets.
- psini 1y agoI don't understand how the points you qualify as "copium" aren't valid? People have owned and enjoyed classic cars for exactly these kinds of reasons. Not everything is about datasheet numbers and performance.
