[QUOTE="OX1, post: 16794977, member: 175132"] Besides not making any noise (assuming you meant exh noise). 1. Does not require any effort by owner to build, so means NOTHING. 2. Does not require any effort or driving skill to launch. 3. Does not yaw somewhat, kind of scaring you a bit, even up through 80 MPH. 4. Does not chirp tires between shifts. 5. Does not have turbo whistle or blower whine. 6. Does not have any intake noises. 7. Engine RPM does not rise up through the gears. If all you care about is the easiest max speed, to get to comfortably and with zero effort, mission accomplished. But my Fusion Sport with a tune kills virtually every muscle car ever built. Guess how much people care about a Fusion Sport. It's invisible at any car show, just like every EV. Part of the hobby is the excitement and cool factor you get when something does something you did not expect. So EV's have peaked already, great. But from here on out, anything less than 7's, is just boring from a conversation standpoint. I'll also add, I've never lost an "acceleration" with my Fusion on the street, because I've never had a true "acceleration" with it. Even when I expect some "competition" with a higher end BMW (lets say), I don't get any action. The fusion does 0-30 in 1.72s, same as a tested 2018 model 3 perf (of course it gets killed to 60). Across an intersection, is all I need and then it's virtually all single lane roads. If the driving public starts going faster than that on a regular basis (they won't), maybe I'll have to up my game. But even then, street "accelerating" has no rules. I can deep stage by an entire car length and watch the lights change in the other direction. NO ONE else on the street will think to do that. [/QUOTE]
