The new Tesla is tested at 0-60 of 2.6 seconds.
While I hate to say it.
That is quick!
Something about those instant on electric motors!
2.6!

well, based on history of the c4 lt5, I will wait a few years and pick it up for about 13k if history repeats itself.

Yep!
DC motors have massive torque that is why all modern train engines use them.

If I had the money to throw around, I would wait until the mid-engine C8. ( I can wish in on hand and poop in the other, I know which will happen 1st!!) It will be one of the last C7s, and one of the fastest, best handling Corvettes ever to come out of Bowling Green. Until the C8 rolls out.....And future pricing will depend on how big a production run they do. If its a one year deal, then good luck in 10-15 years finding one that is affordable. If I had that kind of money, I rather have a garage full of C4 ZR-1s

Tesla's are limited in top speed by motor rpm. They are quick but limited.

I'm sure society will get used to electric cars, but right now it is pure stealth. A car that runs 10.80's in the 1/4 mile that doesn't squeal tires and wake up the neighborhood with loud mufflers?...yes, please. I can blast around the block in my Volt going a good bit over the speed limit and not one person ever looked up with a scowl like happens in a hotrod with loud pipes. Cops are kind of in the same spot with them...they have no idea of your throttle position angle and there just isn't any kind of emotional prejudice because the dang things just don't make sound.

Not making a spectacle of yourself is pretty neat trick trick- at least to me.

nuances = unadvertised features, or bugs as we call them in the software design world.

Better to wait for the market to settle down when the pipeline is filled.
