It is a warrior in stoplight and street use.
I did stop and lookup prices in the middle and he did say I was thinking near the end that the dual motor long range was a sweet spot in the price and performance vs M3P. I see it is $7500 cheaper and offers plenty of performance for all but the most serious drag racer. I will say the performance boost can add good power but won't touch the original Performance models. He didn't mention car insurance as my company was interested if it was Perf or not. IDK if they rate the single and dual motors the same it seems like they might but Perf was going to be extra $. They did briefly mention the comparable German track cars higher prices but they are MUCH higher especially without tax credits. There is a better overall ride in the others even on the street. So many better options for a road track as seen on their times chart. Even a Civic R or Supra or Mustang or SS 1LE. I would certainly look at some used car to beat on for track car and not a $55k new car.
Speaking of price vs performance I was looking at Bring A trailer yesterday and a nice Challenger 2023 swinger edition but mods for lowering and driven thousands of mi (not in collector condition) sold for $53k! To me a very cool car at half that price. For half that he could get something with more tech
0-60 mph 4.0 Quarter mile 12.3 Model 3 Long range (not performance Not performance Boost) AWD means all day any day
0-60 mph 4.2 Quarter mile 12.7 Dodge Scat pak Challenger (if he got ideal traction!)
