Did I make that comment to you? I thought I made it to someone else...

 

Geeze sorry I won't respond to you unless you're explicitly talking to me.

 

LOL you can respond all you want to any of my comments, I thought maybe I accidentally posted that comment to you

 

I'm just messing with you. It was an easy segue to explain why I don't currently own an electric vehicle even though I think they are awesome.

 

Aw, I see. I've never pegged you as a modder, but I guess that's why I see you the 2IS occasionally. BTW a bit off topic, but the Amsoil in my IS is amazing. I just bought a case for my 2013 Sienna! I love that stuff, my IS has never been this buttery smooth

 

I think a hybrid makes more sense. Is more convenient as well.. no need to charge. The range is so much better.

 

If y'all didn't see the news, check out Koenigsegg's new Quark electric engine: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a3...0Non%20Openers

As small, standalone EV engines come out, I'll be interested to see who does some cool EV swaps, ala Bisi's Porsche 935.

And slower and way less enjoyable to drive. Also, you are tacking on maintenance cost which is a significant advantage of EVs. So now you have 2 drivetrains in your car adding both complexity and weight. Rather just have ICE or EV.

 

Yeah you are right, the EV is the highest performing car in your fleet and probably the most fun. The 350 has more potential though, a RR charger, bushings, and maybe struts if you want to track it hard will have you running down Porsches.

 

Yeah sorry, I'll take shorter range of an EV over a Hybrid. I want to be able to merge on the freeway in 3 seconds, not 15

 

Yeah I thought about the RR Racing SC, but I don't want to spend $8,500 on a 12 year old car. That's if I do the work myself. Plus my MPG's would go down, and maintenance would go up. I'm happy with a 5 second 0-to 60 IS!

 

An X6 of what type? Are you certain it was an 8 not a 6?

The X6M would completely annihilate near any same class EV stock, even the normal V8 version with a stage one tune will beat anything polestar makes. The high speed difference as well is just no comparison.

Your car is decently quick, but it's not fast.

 

That is cool! One on each axle and you have 335 HP x 2!

 

Eh, I would say just get an EV. Hybrids are the worst of both worlds and have two powertrains you need to monitor. Slow, heavy, too much stuff breaks, too non-standard, no performance headroom at all.

 

It was the X6 with the TTV8. They are quick no doubt, but by the time the trans and the turbos kick in I'm already gone. I'm sure quarter mile they are faster, but the point is the Polestar is not a performance car, is less than half the price of the BMW with much smaller motors, but I can keep up with a lot of V8's at the very least. A Mustang with the 5.0L Coyote would beat me, but not off the line and not by much. Most V6's are not even a contest unless they are modded
