Gold Member BOHICA Posted November 23, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted November 23, 2023 Nevertheless, both megapowerful EVs ran more than three seconds quicker than the Porsche 911 Turbo S. As expected, the EVs' advantage is in acceleration. The Plaid gets to 150 mph in 9.7 seconds and the Sapphire a second quicker still, putting them 3.8 and 4.7 seconds, respectively, ahead of the Porsche. That edge more than offsets their stopping distances, which were, thanks to their hefty curb weights, roughly 100 feet longer, hurting their overall times by less than a second. Very unofficially, the Sapphire's time of 15.5 seconds beat the Plaid's 16.2-second time. —Dave VanderWerp https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a45765297/0-150-0-mph-speed-test-2023/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted November 23, 2023 Author Gold Member Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Sapphire is impressive in the fact the it’s faster then the tesla by a second to 150 but is pretty much 5 seconds faster then Porsche’s best and fastest offerings to 150 mph. 5 seconds is an eternity and such a gaping.

Gold Member poopooforme Posted November 24, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted November 24, 2023 @BOHICA you are such a one trick pony. We get it. You jerk off to EV's. I think they are fucking dumb. The whole EV agenda is fucking dumb. It will not work. Think of the money wasted on all these stupid green energy projects and for what? USA is getting left behind because of all the regs and rules on things. The auto industry is no different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
