Ah yes, the "everybody in a 3 mile radius must know how much I spent on my exhaust"-mobile
- SirFatty 3mo agoJust like my neighbors with Harleys that drunk drive home at 2a revving the engine.
- drcongo 3mo agoMy car has a 3.5L V6 and is almost silent. The only reason to fit one of those exhausts is to be an arsehole to everyone around you.
- extr0pian 3mo agoI'm sure the author is a nice guy, but there's nothing I find more obnoxious than someone driving down a quiet neighbor with a vehicle they've modified to be intentionally loud.

- floatrock 3mo agoA GR Corolla goes 0-60 in 4.9 - 5.4sec. My unexotic stock electric does 0-60 in around 4.8sec, +/-. So the same performance that requires a stupid amount of wasted energy as heat and noise can be had from stock electric, with a couple hundred ms leftover. Do you care about performance, or do you just want to just fart out a bunch of noise? I get traditional car culture, but electrics embody the "money talks, wealth whispers" truism.
- la_oveja 3mo agothis car is about handling in the twisties, not on straigh line. if you care about performance, you should know that its not only momentary performance what matters, but sustaining it and on repeated occasions. this car is made to be driven hard in a circuit or mountain roads. a electric car overheats its battery and its brakes due to their weight. the thing most close to electric sport car must be the ionic 5n. the rest is just old people saying "hey look how fast i can launch this car on the highway" ps: most car people dont care about performance, but about the thrill and the emotion of driving
- ElectronCharge 3mo agoI've yet to have any issues with the battery overheating, and most if not all of the braking is regenerative (no brake pad wear).
- Rumudiez 3mo agothe first time I drove a model 3 I felt like I couldn't stop. it's on par with my 80s van that has drum brakes on the rear. the brakes just aren't good enough for sport, the car weighs too much. if this is hard to understand, you're living in a different world from motorsports enthusiasts
- frollogaston 3mo agoYou don't need to drive race cars to understand that a Tesla Model 3 stops faster than an 80s van with drum brakes. Sure, probably not as good as a sports car.
- Rumudiez 3mo agoThe van weighs 1500lbs less and has discs up front. It’s seriously not that far off
