i'm not happy to see ice stuff go away. i am happy to see high performance electric stuff made, marketed and sold. electric car is def going to be an appliance, at least some of them are really fast.

Drive over the magic mushrooms and get more battery boost Be a fan fave and get votes for more boost. Switch cars at halftime because they can't even go the whole distance

The LS engines were the epitome of v8 fun. It was the perfection of the concept.

Nothing like the W/O roar of an LS going full bore at the dragstrip

Yea boy…I checked out a couple of races and you’re right…there is something absolutely missing. I just couldn’t get un-bored with it. This argument is invalid because Formula one has an overtake button, or push to pass button. |

Yes, the same exact argument can be made about future models of ICE cars, but at least you can kind of somewhat kind of halfway "mod", look at the C8 and global B platform. And this goes back to the statement that keeps being made that Tesla's are an appliance, yes they most certainly are, you are in a moving battery pack with a bunch of software and remote servers controlling everything about it, all controlled by Elon himself. You are the exact same as everyone else on the road. The industry is about to get a rude awakening once all the do gooders come to terms with just how expensive this super cool concept of a Tesla is when batteries come extremely expensive. We will see a repeat of the late 1970s when lead gas went away. A recession will hit and destroy the industry like the last one, they will have to cut way back on batteries instead of compensating and making cars "fast" by stuffing tens of thousands of battery cells in it. Or come to terms that they were initially correct that hybrids weren't such a bad or, evil as ICE, as they were made out to be. |

I'm still waiting for the day when there will be a biometric check to unlock the doors. Then, once you get in, the doors lock and "your" car drives you to the police station for a warrant, or questioning, or IRS audit, or whatever else.....

They have different fuel maps they can switch to. On the straights if they are within 1 second of the car ahead the rear wing opens up reducing drag and increasing top speed. They also get that feature in qualifying without needing a car within a second

EV conversions will likely become the more popular mod and hobby rather than trying to wrench on a stock EV off the showroom floor. "Hot Rodding" and NHRA will add EVs to the mix at some point.
https://www.nhra.com/news/2021/nhra-...-racing-series https://www.motortrend.com/features/ev-hot-rod-column/ IMO what may get called an EV muscle car will be a custom EV drag car conversion, not a stock Telsa. Last edited by 90503; 12-21-2021 at 12:55 PM. |
