If performance was really the goal, electric cars do 0-60 mph in like 2.1 seconds. Nah he wanted a car that goes brrrr xD
Tesla does it stock
Ya exactly! My cousin Kevin has the money. He can do what ever he wants with it and that is what he wanted. He isn't 85 like his dad. He wants to still have the powah

Hey KT. Maybe this is what your cousin Kevin really wanted.
Heck him and my brothers both lol 😁
Oh, I would too! But driving something like that makes well over 1,000 bhp, it also drinks fuel like mad.
Even though my brothers cannot afford that, my cousin Kevin can.
As I've been saying all along. The number one thing is that there is nowhere near enough charging station infostructure to support plugin EV's to begin with. The range is poor, even on a good day. 250 miles or 400 kilometers max range is not good when it takes a super-fast charger over an hour to recharge. And a 220-volt home charger will take over 8 hours. Then factor in extreme heat or cold, it will cut that range nearly in half while almost doubling recharge time. And has no one given any thought of the demands it will put on our already overwhelmed electrical grid if even just one twentieth of a nation would adopt an EV?The cost of these cars is still out of reach for the average household income levels. And I'm not talking statistically either. I'm talking realistically. There are millions of people out there that can't afford to buy a brand-new car. Let alone, properly maintain the old car they may have now.
Oh, and just to pour a little more salt on to the wound. EV batteries have a rather short life span. They are made of the same tech as your cell phone battery. After the first year, they begin to degrade. And by the 5th year, charge compacity is cut by more than 1/3rd. There is no warrantee or service plan to cover the replacement of the battery. So the vehicle owner is responsible for replacing it. And get this, more than half of the cost of a new EV today is the cost of the battery alone. Users can expect to pay $15,000 to $25,000 USD to replace a full EV battery. That's not a typo, look it up.
Oh heck no I can't ever pay that! Man!
