Brakes are just fine. Car is ****ing heavy and does 150 in the 1/4 mile. Lol.

The brakes look nice and work decent in town but they are way undersized on the caliper or just a really crappy pad. I am not sure if any aftermarket pads are available yet. I rarely if ever use the brakes in town because the regenerative braking is on. They don’t like to slow down from 165, especially when new

I agree completely. Probably the most emotionless car I have ever driven but also probably the fastest in a straight line too.

That is true.

That’s ****ing fast but I’ll take the sound of my cammed ls over 1,000 miles an hour in silence any day of the week. The emotionless feeling is a great description for that.

Uncle Chet had some emotions. It looked like he was having a blast until his brakes went.

Still have my gtr and rs7 for the emotional component of driving. Traded My rs3 for about the same money i bought it for, 3 years later.

For raw speed, nothing currently compares to the plaid. No matter what you think it will feel like, it’s more. Merging on a sharp curved freeway ramp at 45mph, with a random mustang on my ass. Hit the go pedal once it straightened out, and was going 100mph less than 3 seconds later. Like the car hit a warp zone, mustang no where in site. Plenty to hate about the car. Plenty to love.

Motorcycle, I assume. I don’t race for money—I spent it all on the car. No care here. This is my daily. Everyone has a race car/bike/friends car/etc that can beat a plaid.

I’ve endured years of hatred for owning a gtr, but the hatred for this car is next level.

Hate isn't deserved. That said it weighs 200lb more than my crew cab, 1300+lb more than my Mustang. You can bend the laws of physics but not break them, damn she is a heavy beast. I could see slowing it down being tricky.

This is true, the plaid right now is the king taking down highly modified cars in stock form.

@gofast15 has a Plaid, get it on video. I think he has a 720s too.

thats what its like when you are at the top... everyone wants a title shot. hahahahaha.

 

[ArabianOak]

I agree, the hate is beyond next level but I have also found that these same haters avoid my plaid like the plague when confronted at stop lights etc...lol.

Car people know this car whether they like it or not and they also know that a massive can of whoop ass awaits them if they try ANYTHING.

It's a great great great daily driver that does everything well...quiet, comfortable, heated/cooled seats, self driving, glass roof etc etc etc. The only car I would possibly trade for it would be an AMG GT63 S. And I would trade for that knowing the Merc will feel SLOW compared to it. lol

It’s not just the Plaid, it’s all electric cars regardless of how quick they are IMO. Yeah they accelerate quick, but they’re not fun to drive. Kinda like masturbation without the payoff.

Talk about little dick energy lol….. why even bring a bike into a convo about racing cars.

Local guy here in Omaha, loaded with cash. He has a highly modified RS3 that he put up against a Plaid from a unprepped street dig and then a roll. I also realize not everyone has a car like this RS3.

The mustang is still the winner.

EVs have the littlest dick energy of all

I got 6 inches and 6 kids to prove you guys wrong. Lololololoo

Lol…. Nah man it still has 4 wheels so it’s inthe same category, bringing a bike into a car race discussion is the ultimate small peen move.


This same thing happen with DCTs first hit the scene ….. especially with a GTR
