[QUOTE="Balt21, post: 16565261, member: 165808"] It will be interesting to see how things play out. I'm sure when it first gets into peoples hands we will see a few Youtube videos of it at the track or on the street beating up on some cars just like we did when people got their hands on a Tesla with Ludicrous mode - then the hype will die down. The same thing happened when the GT500, C8, Demon, Redeye, etc. came out. It's priced at $139,990, so no, I don't see a ton of car guys buying these just like I don't see a ton of C7ZR1's or any other car that is in that price bracket driving around regularly. The problem with Teslas (or any electric car that is available at this point) is that outside of going fast in a straight line they are boring. The Model S Performance does 0-60 in 2.3 seconds while the GT500 is advertised as mid 3s and the base C8 is 2.9; I see way more excitement over the GT500 and C8 than the Model S Performance despite being slower. Magazine times aren't everything to all car enthusiasts. What will be interesting is when the technology gets affordable to more people. I still see people wanting the sounds, vibration, and mechanical feeling of a non electric car - at least until we get a generation that knows nothing but electric cars. [/QUOTE]
