Was curious to see how it would fare against a GTR and stumbled upon this video. Very even down the quarter mile, both running 11's. I would imagine the GTR would slowly keep pulling away after that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just keep getting quicker until there's no way a petrol engine will be able to keep up as long as the battery technology can keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy for the city folk but long trips but constant driving is an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKGSJQKS Banned 259 Member For: 9y 6m 15d Gender: Not Telling Posted 15/02/16 11:32 AM Share Posted 15/02/16 11:32 AM I might have different expectations with it being the only turbo car I've driven so I can't compare them to the previous models or JDM cars when it comes to turbo response. It just irks me when some N/A cars can get the jump on you off the line, even if that lead is short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I love reeling them in that car length or so and then it's all over red rover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
