I used to race and have the scars to show for it. Well aware of the difference. Yes, electric is quicker not faster... which is what is more useful to me. Half a second off the line and you're NOT catching me. They generally drive better though.. I'm genuinely curious why your choice. The satisfying roar? Because that can easily be simulated.
yes the roar and being able to go 350kph after like say 1.5km of open road.Can you electric people do that? undecided
You all that do quarter mile races aren't racers,just thrill seekers.
What kind of race is that?
You use to race?hmm,wish you weren't taken.No be these women weh when them see 120kph them go begin shout and nag inside motor.
When are we racing though? undecided

I didn't say anything about using them for racing o. I don retire because of Baby Radu and co. I'm talking about in real world use. They are quicker which means ole wey wan catch me, good luck. Plus mile range is increasing every day. For the noise, that's easily reproduced. There's a reason Tesla is more worth more than Ford and Chevy combined. Also, https://www.google.com/amp/s/electrek.co/2020/01/10/mazda-electric-car-artificially-slower-to-feel-like-gas-car/amp/

Souvenirs from my last Challenger. He lost, blindsided me on a date on the freeway another day at 2am and flipped my car using a construction sign. Car flipped three times and slid upside down for a quarter of a mile, lost skin on the back of my hand dragging on the asphalt, nerve damage, and knees split open. Engine block crashed cracked in half. I can tell you this, video game accident POVs are pretty accurate!

Excuse the ashiness. I just comot for shower.

Thanks. Was my welcome into the year 2000 lol.

Crazy thing is I walked out of it, didn't realize my knee was split open and tried to get back into the car to retrieve my winnings from earlier that night. Construction workers had to drag me back before I realized I was bleeding all over the place.

Yeah, tow truck driver tried to steal them. When I got better, tracked him to his house where he claimed he was "holding on to it" for me. Got it all back.

Prior to crash, never respected seatbelts. My date had his on and walked away without a scratch. Since then, seatbelt and I are best friends and I don't play with anything srs or abs on car.

If you only knew lol. He's the master tech for the shop but back in the day let's just say NY police weren't fans grin

If I may ask, what car did you crash in?
Never been in a crash. Wouldn't ever want to be in one.

I have a very vivid imagination and can picture a thousand and one outcomes from different actions.
Some of the outcomes, kills any urge for race these days.
