This is the truth. No matter how fast you are. You will always want to go faster. It’s like crack ?. You just have to understand that there comes a point where you need to weigh up if it’s practical and worth it.My model 3 performance would trash any 4S but I am going for a 4S. Honestly, the number of times I actually need to go 0-60 in 3 seconds is seriously low and frankly it gets boring. I've had fast cars for a long time and anything sitting between 3-5 seconds is fast enough, trust me fast is never fast enough, if you're chasing the 0-60 thing, it will never end. My Audi S8 did the quarter-mile in under 10s and I still wasn't satisfied (it was mental), so I decided to go green and chill out a bit. 4S is plenty unless you are tracking a car, if you are doing that get a Radical! (mind you if money is no object, then what the hell )
Good choice, I think - thumbs up. "Faster, faster... until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death ;-)."I am 40 btw, grew up very poor, have alot of funds saved up, so I want to endulge myself.
that's something I can't get .... you mean and I understand the same way : that turbo and turbo S accelerate the same way (as fast) in normal conditions (not in laugh control) ... why do people get a turbo S ???The residual on the Turbo vs the 4s was so good that I got the turbo and costs worked out much the same.
The turbo s was difficlt to justify as I couldn’t see what extra speed you got in the real world other than launch control.
All in my humble opinion, of course:Corvette C7 Stingray - What is that like to drive?
It's funny how ICE feels after driving EV, it is difficult to go back to. I love the look of so many ICE cars including your Corvette but with resale and usability vs that of an EV, it makes them an impossible choice for me.All in my humble opinion, of course:
But since the T4 arrived, I have driven it maybe twice. It feels like a dinosaur now. I am yet undecided whether it is a lovable dinosaur that I should keep out of nostalgia or if it really is just a dinosaur ready for some swamp .
- The C7 was the first Corvette that really had good, if not very good driving, handling, braking characteristics
- The V8 has a great rumble and mean sound, it really is an orchestra
- It is also nice and smooth at 250km/h on the Autobahn, not just when accelerating 0-70 km/h or 20-100.
- I loved the removable roof
Haha, not something I have found but still funny. It's a love or hate thing with tesla seats, some love em some dispise em.The Model 3 gave me a serious case of ass sweat. Anyone willing to drive around in those horrible seats is allowed beat me off the line anytime.
Can totally relate to that... had to take the BMW Touring to the shop due to a defect ABS sensor and I seriously thought something was very wrong with the whole car (noisy and jolting suspension, wobbling steering feel, very high engine & exhaust noise) - until I realised - nope... just an ordinary ICE.... I've been "ruined" from more or less exclusively driving the 4S+ this fallIt's funny how ICE feels after driving EV, it is difficult to go back to. ...
Honest question: Does that also apply to the new base Taycan? 5.1 sec 0-60. I'm trying to convince myself that's OK but that Model 3 performance is really fast and 1/2 the cost of the base once you add some basic options (my build was $105k). My 981 Cayman S is faster by almost a second and is by no means fast enough. As I see all the issues around Taycan charging at EA stations I'm waiting until that's all sorted out before I'd consider a Taycan (watch the EV cannonball video from this week on YouTube). No hurry to leave the sound of my 981S as tempted as I am by shiny new toys.My model 3 performance would trash any 4S but I am going for a 4S.

Even my 1992 FZR 600 (no longer have it) is faster than the 4S. Must have been hilarious.Two years ago I was at a red light with my car and in the next lane was a motorcycle. You can imagine the result.
